York Friends Biblical Library Association.
Following a conference held in York, a decision was taken in 1854 to create a Biblical library for the use of local Friends and a committee, comprising Joseph Rowntree, John Ford and John Kitching, was appointed to acquire a set of recommended books from which the library developed. The York Friends Biblical Library Association was formed by those interested in supporting this venture. In 1985, a number of important 17th and 18th century works from the library were donated to Leeds University Library to be added to the Birkbeck Library.
