Library Information
The LuEsther T. Mertz Library is one of the world's largest and most
important botanical and horticultural research libraries, with over one
million accessioned items (books, journals, original art and
illustration, seed and nursery catalogs, architectural plans of glass
houses, scientific reprints, and photographs) and over 4,500 linear
feet of archival materials. The Library serves as both a research and a
public library and as both a scholarly resource and a general plant
information service. It offers a wide array of reference resources,
print and electronic, and the help of an informed staff to anyone
visiting the Library through the Internet or in person.
The Library seeks to collect as comprehensively as possible in
systematic and floristic botany with particular strengths in the
literature about the Western Hemisphere, the focus of the Garden's
research program. Since its establishment in 1899, other major research
and academic libraries in New York City have transferred their
plant-related collections to the Library and have deferred to it the
role of serving as the primary plant-focused library in the
metropolitan area.
The Library is an active institutional member of the Research Library
Group, the Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries, the
Society of American Archivists, and the American Institute for
Conservation.
