Members frequently present their research at international conferences and in numerous publications.
On top of that, several members current members are involved in communicating aspects of their research to a lay audience, in the form of national newspaper articles, books, forums and websites. Magdalen Research Forum Within college itself, the Magdalen Research Forum provides opportunities to both speak about your research, and to hear about the ideas, investigations, controversies, hypothesizes and applications stemming from the work of others. Magdalen has great study facilities, all of which are open to graduates here. These include the intriguingly named 'new library' opened in 1851 houses journals and books in most major subjects, and some obscure ones too. The College also has its archives, containing the official records of Magdalen, its buildings, members and staff, from its foundation in 1458 which can be viewed by appointment.
