Support the LibraryThe Library of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust is supported in many ways: By the many Library volunteers who have been unburying and organising the heritage collections and in a thousand other ways of supported the two library staff. By the Friends of The Gardens who have donated over $150,000 in recent years for a range of projects - a considerable part of this funding comes from long-time generous supporters of the Library such as Dorothy and Alex Robinson and Bill and Sally Nelson. By the donation of large and valuable works or collections such as the anonymous donor of our set of Banks' Florilegium for which the Gardens will be forever grateful, John Slade's magnificent donation of orchid books and other early botanical works, the bequest of Thomas Savige's Camellia collection and research notes ... right down to the donation or loan of a single family photo of the Gardens. By the Royal Botanic Gardens Foundation who it is hoped will be supporting the Library in a number of projects in preparation for the Garden's Bicentennary in 2016. The projects needing funding include the digitising of 134 years of catalogue cards and journal indexing records, refurbishing the public & staff working areas of the Library, digitising collection images and documents and conserving fragile and damaged collection items. There are a number of ways to help support the Library, by the donation of:
