Resources > Wesley Archives The Special Collections and Archives largely represent holdings inherited from our predecessors, Didsbury College, Manchester (founded 1842) and Wesley College, Headingley (founded 1868).
The archives of Didsbury and Headingley contain records of ministers trained in those colleges since their inception. A number of oil painting and other artefacts supplement the largely text-based elements of the Special Collections. A digitised handlist to the manuscripts held in the Special Collections can be viewed on the National Register of Archives website: Wesley College, Bristol NRA 27694 Most of the printed works have been catalogued electronically in a collaborative project with the Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History (housing the Wesley Historical Society Library) and details can be accessed through the on-line library catalogue of the Centre, at Oxford Brookes University. All enquiries from researchers wishing to view material in the Special Collections should be directed to the Librarian. The links will open in a new page. |

Housed in secure environmentally-controlled conditions, this material comprises an extensive printed collection, including many rare tracts from the early history of Methodism, and an outstanding collection of manuscripts relating to the Wesley family and other significant contemporaries. It is particularly rich in letters and papers of John Wesley, and holdings include the last volume of his shorthand diary, and his certificates of ordination.
