Archive of the University Gazette

How to find and read existing Gazette content

Finding content

Individual back issues are available on our Archive content page for the current year only.
Combined volumes for all years other than 1979/80 are available on the Gazette's archive site, hosted by Figshare and enabled by the Sustainable Digital Scholarship service. More information and individual links are available on our Archive content page. Volumes which are more than 84 years old are fully accessible to all readers; volumes since 2010 are available as redacted files to all readers, and as complete files to current/retired University members with a SSO account.
Please note: many issues in the archive do not have active links, and some links will not work as expected due to the recent website migration at the University of Oxford. If you are searching for a specific item or topic, please use the Content by Subject listings. Issues published from Trinity term 2026 onwards will have active and correct links.

The search bar at the top of all Gazette webpages may be used to search this site, and search results should include content in PDFs. Please note, however
- content relating to students (such as viva voce listings, prizes or supplications for higher degrees) will not be found by searching as this content is restricted to the full volumes found behind SSO on SharePoint. If you are a member of the University you can see all such listings via the Content by Subject section on the Archive content page.
- the search bar is for the whole University website, not just Gazette content. To help you find what you're looking for, please include the word Gazette in your search to narrow down your results
To help with finding specific items of content, an index page listing all content published during a year and arranged by its subject is available on our Archive content page. The page is created week by week, to enable easier browsing through all examples of each type of notice during the year. This exists for each year since 2020/21.

Statistical information on the University published annually in the Gazette is no longer published separately. This information can be found in the complete volume for the year in question (the information is contained in both redacted and full versions of the volumes since 2010) on the Gazette's archive site.
