This essay inaugurates One British Archive, a new series in the Journal of British Studies. This short essay describes the little-known archive, libraries, and museum of Stonyhurst College in England. Stonyhurst represents a continuation of the College of St Omers, a Catholic institution started in continental Europe in the sixteenth century, when Catholics were routinely prosecuted in England. This transnational quality of British expatriate communities in Europe is reflected in the collections. The modern preparatory school contains not only the records of St Omers but also the papers and books of numerous local families and school children that passed through its doors. The current archive, libraries, and museum are thus a treasure trove for anyone pursuing studies into Catholicism, book history, British education, and more.

英国档案馆之一：斯托尼赫斯特学院图书馆的瑰宝

本文为英国档案馆的一个新系列揭幕英国研究杂志。这篇短文描述了英格兰斯托尼赫斯特学院鲜为人知的档案馆、图书馆和博物馆。斯托尼赫斯特是圣奥默斯学院的延续，圣奥默斯学院是一所于十六世纪在欧洲大陆创立的天主教机构，当时天主教徒在英国经常受到起诉。欧洲英国侨民社区的这种跨国品质反映在藏品中。这所现代预科学校不仅包含圣奥默斯的记录，还包含无数当地家庭和学童的文件和书籍。因此，当前的档案馆、图书馆和博物馆对于任何研究天主教、图书史、英国教育等的人来说都是一个宝库。
