MESSAGE FROM SIR JOHN ILOTT
CHAIRMAN OF TRUSTEES
It gives me great pleasure as Chairman, both of the Trustees of the National Library of New Zealand and its Committee for the Alexander Turnbull Library, as one who knew the late Alex Turnbull personally, and as a donor of incunabula and illuminated manuscripts, to extend my best wishes to the Library, its Friends, staff and users on this occasion.
The magnificent inheritance bequeathed to the Crown has been well fostered and strengthened. The country's resources should perhaps have permitted more rapid development and extension of the Library's housing and some parts of its collections. Nevertheless, we can fittingly take pride in what has been achieved in the fifty years of its corporate existence.
For the future, as part of the National Library of New Zealand, the Alexander Turnbull Library, preserving its separate identity and character, will fulfil an extended role. Its responsibilities for services and research needs, particularly associated with our literature and its written and graphic records in all media must and will develop to the enrichment of our national life.
