The library records are larger than those of any other Oxford college library. They were last listed by W.G. Hiscock (successively Assistant and Deputy Librarian from 1931 to 1962); with the exception of the Bodleian printed catalogues with their annotations, all can be assumed to be in manuscript. What follows is a transcription of Hiscock's list, and researchers may wish to check for themselves that his identifications are correct. Some of the later nineteenth and twentieth century records have been omitted from the list, and recent library records are unlisted.
In addition to the material in Library Records, considerable quantities of material will be found in the Christ Church Archives, particularly in the series of Disbursement Books, and in a variety of other documents.
