The center in Oxford will both provide resources for Chinese studies and promote the academic accomplishments of Taiwanese scholars, the library said.
Both sides also signed another memorandum of understanding to exchange their books in hopes to facilitate academic discourse, it said.
The center in Oxford is the second of its kind Taiwan has founded in Britain, following another at the University of London in 2012.
Taiwan has been establishing such centers in countries around the world including the United States and Russia since 2012.
