The Herbarium Library

The Herbarium Library is now located in room 112 across the hall from the main collections in purpose built facility. This library is a satellite library of the University of Connecticut Libraries. The library houses important taxonomic literature, monographs and journals and is frequently used by visitors, staff, students and faculty. Photocopies are free of charge and all herbarium users are welcome to use this facility. As CONN staff reference type specimens and research vouchers using references in the library, the library is slowly being databased. It is not only the eventual aim to put place a query form on this page that will enable users to search our library collections but also encourage us to strengthen the links between specimens and taxonomic literature.

We are always looking for donations of taxonomic botanical and horticultural literature to the library and recent generous gifts have been the Journal of Bryology (1898-2001) and Cryptogamie (1874-1998) from Dr. Lewis Anderson of Duke University and Taxon from Dr. Gregory Anderson.
