The Grounds
The Linda Hall Library’s urban arboretum was begun in the early 1900’s when Herbert and Linda Hall began landscaping the property around their new home. This tradition of thoughtful conservation and planting was embraced and carried to the present by subsequent trustees and staff of the Library.
Engineering and Technology
The Library has a very strong engineering and technology collection, made even stronger by the acquisition of the Engineering Societies Libraries in 1995. The Library’s major emphasis in engineering is on collecting important current research material. In addition to civil engineering, applied mechanics and related disciplines are the most extensively covered subjects in the Library’s collection. The collection includes meeting papers from many engineering societies including the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME).
Notable features of the collection include:
Ø More than 47,000 Journal and Serial titles
Ø Strong Conference and Symposium Proceedings Collection
Ø In excess of 1.5 million Government Contracted Technical Reports
Ø Over 150,000 Standards and Specifications
Ø U.S. Patent and Trademark Depository Library Collection
Ø U.S. Government Documents
Ø More than 300,000 Monographs
Ø Strong History of Science Collection dating from the 15th century
