Mounted specimen Herbarium

Library


The State's leading botanical reference source, the Library at the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium contains more than 40,000 items including books, journals, reprints, microfiche, photographs, maps, plans, letters, memorabilia and other archive material. 

During the Library's 150 year history, material has been acquired by gift, purchase and exchange.

The Library supports the information requirements of our staff.

People from outside the organisation, such as scientists, students, historians, researchers and the general public who have a bona fide need to use the Library's resources may have access by appointment.

You can contact our library by calling +61 (8) 8222 9325 or emailing DEW.BGLibrary@sa.gov.au
