The Nellie Langford Rowell Library is at 204 Founders College, York University, Toronto, Canada.
The library subscribes to almost 100 women's, feminist, and women's studies periodicals and has substantial numbers of issues of other, often short-lived magazines and newsletters. It also houses a considerable collection of ephemera related to women, the women's movement, women's studies, and feminism, filed in some 200 broadside boxes. The book collection is over 18,500 and steadily increasing.
The library is dedicated to Nellie Langford Rowell (1874-1968), an active volunteer in the women's community and mother of the library's main benefactor, Mary Coyne Rowell Jackman (1904-1994). It offers resources to students, faculty, and staff at the university, as well as the wider community represented by the library's founders. The library is administered by a volunteer board from the various sectors of women's studies at York as well as members from external community groups.
