The Louise B. Belsterling Botanical Collection

Louise B. Belsterling

The Special Collections Department at UTD is the home of the Louise B. Belsterling Collection. This assortment of rare botanical and horticultural books is named for Louise B. Belsterling, whose personal library formed the nucleus of the collection.

The collection features the oldest book in the McDermott Library, a 1499 volume titled, Herbarium Latinum by Arnaldus de Villanova.

Each year the Dallas Garden Club generously donates funds to add to the growing number of books in the library. The Belsterling Collection does not circulate and is available for research only by special appointment.
