Hutchison Bequest

About Bequests Hutchison Bequest

Benjamin Hutchison was an Adelaide bookseller who bequeathed the bulk of his considerable estate to be divided equally between three Adelaide libraries: the Flinders University Library, the State Library of South Australia, and the University of Adelaide Barr Smith Library.

Money received from the Bequest is to be applied towards the 'Rare Book Department' to purchase Nineteenth Century books (including facsimiles of 19th century works).
