The Sandars Readership in Bibliography was instituted in 1895 with a bequest of £2000 left to the University by Mr Samuel Sandars of Trinity College (1837-1895), and continues today in the annual series of Sandars Lectures.

The 2011-2012 Sandars Lectures will be given by Michael Reeve, FBA, Emeritus Professor of Latin and Fellow at Pembroke College, under the title Printing the Latin Classics - some episodes.

The 2010-2011 Sandars Lectures were given by Professor James Carley, Distinguished Research Professor, University of York, under the title From private hoard to public repository: archbishops John Whitgift and Richard Bancroft as founders of Lambeth Palace Library.
