Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Oxford University yesterday unveiled plans for a new pounds 10m library to bring under one roof its collections in classics, archaeology, Egyptology and art history.
The Sackler Library, proposed as the first stage of a new centre for humanities next to the Ashmolean Museum, will be financed with a gift from the Dr Mortimer and Theresa Sackler Foundation and matching funds from the university. The building, designed as a rotunda in a classical style, would accommodate 12,000 metres of books on the cultures of Greece, Rome, the near East and Asia, currently scattered round other university libraries.
