John Innes Centre Library, Information and Archives Service Gardening Resources available within the John Innes Centre Library, Information and Archives Service Introduction Horticulture and gardening have always been important activities for the John Innes Centre both scientifically and recreationally. The Institute was founded in 1910 under the name John Innes Horticultural Institute with the joint purpose of being a horticultural training institute and a scientific research institute. Early work in the Institute was focussed on fruit breeding and plant genetics. Work was carried out on apples and cherries amongst other fruits and also with other flowering plants such as tulips. The early work of the Institute has made a lasting contribution to the world of gardening through the development of a variety of different plants and also the world famous John Innes Composts. The library and archive collections reflect the importance of horticulture and gardening in the early life of the John Innes Centre with a wide spread of resources in both the Modern Science Library and the John Innes Foundation Historical Collections. In recognition of this the Library, Information and Archives service have taken the opportunity to create a selfcontained ‘Gardening Library’ within the Main Science Library. This collection has brought together the gardening books and extensive runs of gardening periodicals that were previously dispersed throughout the library and with the addition of a number of modern books we hope that the collection will be of use to gardeners of all levels and types within the John Innes Centre. This catalogue lists all of of the material that can be found within the gardening library and gives details of selected resources from the John Innes Foundation Rare Books Collection that are likely to be of interest to gardeners. The gardening library can be found on the 1 st floor of the library in the 6 th bay of shelves and is now fully operational. Kenneth Dick, Acting Librarian John Innes Centre November 2003 - 1 -
