The William Cullen Library plays a major role in Southern Africa, both in the provision of information for study and research, and in the preservation of rare and beautiful materials which record the heritage of our country and its peoples.

The building itself is of national significance, being only one of two in the country inspired by the Petit Trianon in the Gardens of Versailles, designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1763. Built in 1933, the William Cullen Library was officially opened by Prince George, Duke of Kent, on 12 March 1934.

Now over 70 years old, the building – which houses our collection of priceless and irreplaceable material – is in need of refurbishment, especially water pipes and electrical wiring which date back to the 1930s.

Since the building houses the Africana Collections, and the Early and Fine Printed Book Collection in addition to the unique documents of the archives, the upgrading of these facilities is critically important.

Cheques and postal orders
Cheques and postal orders are becoming more susceptible to theft and fraud, and are no longer the safest option. If you choose to send a cheque in the mail, we urge you to use registered post as a safeguard. We also recommend that you do not send cash through the post.
