More than 680 museums, universities and libraries have contributed to the library over two decades, with its oldest item a medieval pharmacopeia dating to approximately 1190 digitised by the New York Botanical Garden last year. The collection includes published literature, field diaries, illustrations and climate records, and was used during the pandemic to help reassess the threatened species status of rare Australian orchids affected by the 2019–2020 wildfires.
