About ALHT
The Auckland Library Heritage Trust was established in 1991. The Trust makes funding applications and receives bequests to pay for its activity. Everything ALHT does is about strengthening and promoting awareness of the heritage collections at Auckland Libraries.
As the Trust is independent of Auckland Council, we're grateful to Auckland Libraries for acknowledging ALHT's support. See the Heritage et AL blog.
If you have an idea that could support our work, please contact us.
What does Auckland Library Heritage Trust help pay for?
Examples are:
specialist indexing and metadata (see below)
the preservation and appropriate display of items
scholarships for research that uses and promotes heritage collections
purchasing items when the library does not have budget available, e.g. a unique burgess roll from the 1880s
negotiating the donation of heritage items that enhance the collections
inviting and receiving bequests used solely for strengthening hard-copy and digitised heritage collections at Auckland Libraries
promoting the collections through talks, events and networks.
