It is the library of All Souls College, a graduate constituent college of the University of Oxford. <br /> 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. Codrington bequeathed books worth £6,000, in addition to £10,000 in currency (the equivalent of approximately £1.2 million in modern terms). 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. <br /> The modern collection comprises some 185,000 items, about a third of which were produced before 1800. The library&#039;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. Unusually for an Oxford college library, access to the Codrington is open to all members of the University (subject to registration). The library contains a significant collection of manuscripts and early printed books, and attracts scholars from around the world. <br /> The first woman to be admitted as a reader to the library was Cornelia Sorabji from Somerville College, at Sir William Anson&#039;s invitation in 1890.</div>
