The Resource Centre has a mandate to support the research and
teaching activities at CRS. The CRS currently maintains a
collection of over 12,000 fully catalogued and indexed documents
and over 300 journals and newsletters. The Resource Centre has
also actively sought out information in electronic format,
including the REFWORLD CD-ROM produced by the UNHCR. The
Resource Centre has received donations of significant archival
material from leading researchers, NGOs and Citizenship and
Immigration Canada. The Resource Centre is well-used by York
faculty, researchers and students as well as external scholars,
NGOs and refugee lawyers.
The Centre for Refugee Studies web site (www.yorku.ca/crs),
set up in 1995, provides a gateway to refugee and human rights
information on the Internet and is an excellent source of
information for international legal instruments on refugees,
government documents, scholarly papers, bibliographic citations
and general information on refugee issues as well as updates on
the work of the Centre itself.
In recent years, the Centre has also received a number of
special collections from individual scholars and
non-governmental organizations in the field.
Circulation Policy
Please note that, because of the nature of this specialized
research library - containing catalogued and often rare or
difficult-to-replace documents, this collection does not
circulate. Resource Centre staff may occasionally be able to
assist or re-direct researchers in the event another copy of a
document may be available through some other means/location.
Donations of Books/Research Material
Canadian NGOs and individuals are invited to donate working
papers, conference reports, newsletters, archival materials to
the Andrew Forbes Refugee Resource Centre at the Centre for
Refugee Studies, York University.
Please contact the CRS Resource Centre Coordinator for more
information on resources available to researchers visiting CRS
and its web site:
