The library in its current form was endowed by Christopher Codrington (1668–1710), a Fellow of the college who amassed his fortune through his sugar plantation in the West Indies.[2] Codrington bequeathed books worth £6,000, in addition to £10,000 in currency (the equivalent of approximately £1.2 million in modern terms).[3] The library, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and begun in 1716, was completed in 1751 and has been in continuous use by scholars since then. It is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.[4] The modern collection comprises some 185,000 items, about a third of which were produced before 1800.[5] The library's collections are particularly strong in Law, European History, Ecclesiastical History, Military History, and Classics. There is an expanding collection devoted to sociological topics and the History of Science.[5] Unusually for an Oxford college library, access to the Codrington is open to all members of the University (subject to registration).[6] The library contains a significant collection of manuscripts and early printed books, and attracts scholars from around the world. The first woman to be admitted as a reader to the library was Cornelia Sorabji from Somerville College, at Sir William Anson's invitation in 1890.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|first=John S. |last=Simmons |url=http://www.citeulike.org/user/EdwardLacey/article/3771392 |title=A note on the Codrington Library, All Souls College, Oxford |location=Oxford |publisher=All Souls College |year=1982 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927152613/http://www.citeulike.org/user/EdwardLacey/article/3771392 |archivedate=27 September 2011 |df= }} 2. ^{{cite web|first=James|last=Walvin|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/abolition/building_britain_gallery_06.shtml|title=Slavery and the Building of Britain|publisher=BBC|date=17 February 2011|accessdate=2014-02-14}} 3. ^{{cite web|publisher=The National Archives|title=National Archives Currency Converter|url=http://apps.nationalarchives.gov.uk/currency/|accessdate=2014-09-16}} 4. ^{{NHLE|num=1046762|desc=All Souls College, Codrington Library|accessdate=2016-11-12}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.asc.ox.ac.uk/library|title=The Codrington Library|publisher=All Souls College|location=Oxford|accessdate=2016-11-12}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.asc.ox.ac.uk/applications|title=The Codrington Library Applications|publisher=All Souls College|location=Oxford|accessdate=2016-11-12}} 7. ^{{cite book|title=Somerville for women: an Oxford college, 1879-1993|p=114|author=Pauline Adams|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=1996|id={{ISBN|019920179X}}, {{ISBN|978-0-19-920179-2}}}} External links{{Portal|Libraries|University of Oxford}}
