Access to the Oxford University Voltaire Platform

Members of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa community have free access to the Oxford University Voltaire (OV) Platform from March 2 to April 1, 2026. Outside the campuses, access should be made via the sign-in option.

Oxford University Voltaire brings together the complete works of Voltaire with advanced academic research tools.

The platform offers:

  • Over 2,000 texts and 21,000 items of correspondence;
  • Extensive notes, commentary, and introductions, as well as textual variants based on all authorised editions and manuscripts produced during Voltaire’s lifetime;
  • Advanced search and navigation with sophisticated filters;
  • Stable references, linked to printed editions and DOIs;
  • A fully bilingual interface in French and English.

The content corresponds to the Œuvres complètes de Voltaire (Oxford, Voltaire Foundation, 1967–2022), now made available on a digital platform designed to support new forms of academic research.
