What follows is an edited selection of records from the catalogue of the Rare Books Collection prepared by Elizabeth Stratton in July 2002. As well as the material highlighted below there are many local, national and international flora’s within the collection that highlight the plants that can be found in a given locality. Some of the herbals that are contained within the collection will also be of interest to gardeners as they contain details not only of the medicinal uses of the plants but also a brief description of how to grow the plant and in most cases an illustration of the plant for identification purposes. These books are not available to be borrowed by members of staff but they are available for reference use and if you wish to make use of them please see a member of library staff. A full catalogue of the books within the Rare Books Collection is available from the library and visits to the collection can be arranged through the library staff.
