About the Library

    Overview Branches Library policies and guidelines Bequests Donations Contact

Flinders University and library appreciate the generous assistance of donors in increasing the range and depth of information and other research resources made available to our students and staff for teaching and research.

The Library has received several valuable bequests and gifts of money, books, papers, memorabilia and art works. Bequests build on the range of the library’s special collections in making rare, unusual and ephemeral material available for original research and teaching.

Major bequests and donations include

  • The Jim Main bequest
  • Charles Bright Rare Books Fund
  • Benjamin Hutchison bequest
  • The Law Library Appeal
  • Silver Jubilee Appeal to purchase Matthew Flinders 'A Voyage to Terra Australis'
  • The Heap Mannam Collection

The Library houses the Heap Mannam collection, a bequest of furniture, silverware, china, artworks and books, formerly belonging to Mrs Mannam's family, the Heap family of Wales and gifted to the University by Mrs Isobel and Dr John Mannam.

Items from the Heap Mannam collection are displayed in special collections and occasionally in the Library Exhibition room and other areas of the library.

The Library welcomes the opportunity to discuss donation options and an appropriate acknowledgement and recognition of your donation.
