===Libraries and publications=== [[File:St Antony's College Oxford 2.JPG|thumb|right|The Gateway Building, completed in 2013, provides around fifty en-suite study bedrooms.]] The Old Main Building - the former Holy Trinity Convent<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/about/images/HistoryofBuildingandSite.docx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110906141801/http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/about/images/HistoryofBuildingandSite.docx|url-status=dead|title="St. Antony's College Oxford - a history of its buildings and site"|archive-date=6 September 2011}}</ref> which was built in the 1860s - houses the College Library (including the Gulbenkian Reading Room) and the Russian and Eurasian Studies Centre Library. The College Library keeps general collections in modern history, politics, international relations and economics, collections on Europe, Asia, and the non-Slavonic collections on Russia and the former Soviet Union. It holds over 50,000 volumes and back issues of over 300 journal titles. It also houses some 20th-century archive collections, including the Wheeler-Bennett papers. St Antony's is associated with the Oxford Libraries Information System (OLIS), and has been a contributor to the university's online union library catalogue since 1990.{{fact|date=March 2021}} [[File:St Antony's in the twilight.JPG|thumb|left|The main building and college library.]] The other libraries on the College site are the Middle East Centre Library, the Bodleian Latin American Centre Library, the Bodleian Japanese Library and the Russian and Eurasian Studies Centre Library, the last of which was refurbished in 2008β2009 as part of the college's rolling construction and rejuvenation program. The college also holds an extensive collection of archival material relating to the Middle East at the Middle East Centre Archive,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/research-centres/middle-east-centre/mec-archive|title=MEC Archive | St Antony's College|website=www.sant.ox.ac.uk|date=8 December 2014 }}</ref> the premises of which were greatly expanded with the completion of [[Zaha Hadid]]'s Softbridge building in mid-2014. The area studies libraries on site are unique within the university and thus generally open to all its students, regardless of college affiliation; they typically hold a wide collection of primary language sources and further Anglophone texts - an abundance of specialist material and unique expertise which prompted Leslie Woodhead to comment as follows:<ref name="Woodhead2005" />{{rp|221}} {{cquote|Generations of well-informed men with unusual backgrounds have passed through the college, excavating<br> the remarkable library and sharing their knowledge of some of the world's more secretive places.}} The college's Graduate Common Room has, since 2005, published a biannual academic journal entitled the ''[[St Antony's International Review]]'', which is more commonly known by its acronym - STAIR. The journal represents a medium through which aspiring young academics can publish their work alongside their established policy-makers and their peers. Furthermore, the college publishes a termly newsletter, the ''Antonian'', and a college record - an annual report on college affairs.{{fact|date=March 2021}}
