Fifty years of the "Voltaire Room"

This January the Voltaire Foundation blog marks the 50-year anniversary  of the "Voltaire Room", in the basement of the Taylor Institution in Oxford, which houses the collection of 18th-century books bequeathed by Theodore Besterman.

Remembered with fondness (though it is a bit mean  make students climb up a ladder every time they wanted to consult Voltaire's correspondence...)
