Charles Bright Rare Books Fund

About the Library Bequests Charles Bright Rare Books Fund

Background

Sir Charles Bright was Chancellor of the University from 1971 to 1983, and a Judge of the South Australian Supreme Court from 1963 to 1979. The fund consisted of a donation made by Sir Charles before his death for the establishment of the fund, and other donations subsequently made in his memory.

This fund was used for the purchase, at the Librarian's discretion, of 'rare books, whether original or reproduction, or manuscripts of intrinsic interest or beauty.' The Fund's bookplate is inserted in each book purchased from the Fund.

Holdings

Items purchased from the Charles Bright Rare Books Fund are held in the Charles Bright Collection in the Special Collections Reading Room.
