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 2012-2013 Sandars Lectures will be given by Jim Secord, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, Director of the Darwin Correspondence Project and a fellow of Christ's College, under the title 'Visions of science: books and readers at the dawn of the Victorian age'.
