Adopt a Rare Book
Since 1926 the Society has collected books about the State's history. Due to age and wear over the years, many are deteriorating and need conservation.
By making a tax deductible donation to the Society’s Museum and Library Fund, you can help the Society to stabilise, repair and conserve its rare books.
