Oxfam GB's Open Information Policy
We share information with people living in poverty, partner organisations, and the general public, and are also accountable to our staff, volunteers, supporters, donors, suppliers and host governments.
What information we publish and how we respond to requests for information are important aspects of accountability. We will proactively publish information, and on request will disclose information, or give reasons for any decision not to disclose (for example, to respect confidentiality or privacy). Our key criterion for the decision will be the impact on our mission, to overcome poverty and suffering. We will publish guidance about the implementation of this Open Information Policy.

Oxfam and the Bodleian Library, Oxford
Oxfam donated its archive to the Bodleian Library in 2012, and, with generous support from the Wellcome Trust, a four-and-a-half year project was undertaken to catalogue this extensive collection and make it more accessible.
More information is available on the Bodleian Library website. If you have a specific enquiry please contact policyandpractice@oxfam.org.uk
