Generous donor giving has a long tradition in the Environmental Design Library beginning with Phoebe Apperson Hearst’s 1903 gift that created the Architecture Library.

Donating books and journals
Gifts of scholarly and professional materials have historically represented a significant element in our outstanding research collections. We welcome individual gifts of books and journals but due to space limitations must be judicious in accepting large contributions. Please email envi-library@berkeley.edu about materials you wish to donate.
Donors should be aware that the materials offered may be duplicates or outside the scope of the collection. In these cases, the materials may be made available to students and faculty to add to their personal collections or sold and the proceeds used to purchase other materials for the collection.
The University of Buffalo Libraries also maintains a list of International Donation Programs that you may want to consider for your book donations.
