Who are the current members of the Oxford University Press Board of Delegates?

This seems to be a closely guarded secret, but maybe it is online somewhere.  Any ideas?

  1. I love a detective story …
    so I poked around and found one:
    https://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/news/christopher-adam-appointed-oup-delegate-economics

    someone else can find some of the others

  2. Phil Phys Grad Student

    I know Adrian Moore (https://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/people/adrian-moore) was the Philosophy Delegate to OUP until recently, although I don't know who has succeeded him.

  3. This is indeed surprisingly hard to find (I've had occasion to look before).

    A full list is published each year in the annual report of the Press. This should be available at https://global.oup.com/about/annualreport/, but it is currently offline, as are the last several years. The best I can do is a cloned copy of the 2020-21 report, available at https://examples.foleon.com/example-by-oxford-university-press/committees. The list there is three years out of date, though.

    Some of the positions are ex officio: the Delegates at present certainly include
    – Irene Tracey (chancellor)
    – Nigel Portwood (secretary to the delegates – OUP's CEO)
    – Thomas Adcock (senior proctor)
    – Conall Mac Niocaill (junior proctor)
    – Benjamin Bollig (assessor)

  4. Archive.org also has shots of the annual report through 22-23, but they appear to be designed exclusively for the Web, which means they a live session and are therefore illegible.

    Thank you so much, Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

  5. The /University Gazette/ is not very helpful.
    – Appointments by Council to the Delegacy were gazetted at least in 1997–8 (https://gazette.web.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/gazette/documents/media/gaz_index_97-98.pdf).
    – But the last gazetted appointment was of a Secretary to the Delegates in 2008–9 (https://gazette.web.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/gazette/documents/media/gaz_index_2008-9.pdf).
    – Some later numbers give notice of the publication of the annual report of the Press.
    – The index to the 2022–3 volume does not mention the Press at all (https://gazette.web.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/gazette/documents/media/gaz_index_2022-3).

  6. FOIA looks like overkill; just write to OUP and ask them to fix the broken link on their website.

  7. I do not think it is kept sèctet. They are all listed in the public finance report at the bottom of this page: https://corp.oup.com/annual-report-2023-24/
