DR. H. F. VON HAAST
The will of Dr. H. F. von Haast who died in 1953, provided that upon the death of Mrs. von Haast, a sum of £I,OOO was to come to the Turnbull Library. It is a matter for regret that she did not survive her husband for many years, but upon her passing in 1960, the Library duly received the amount of this generous gift, which has been added to the Library’s Endowment Trust. Both Dr. and Mrs. von Haast were good friends of the Library, and upon his death, the Librarian, at his widow’s request, edited a small book of memorial tributes, including a graduation address given at Otago University in 1935. It will be remembered that upon the publication of his great work on “The life and times of Julius Von Haast’’, the whole body of MSS. and other documents upon which it was based, were placed in the Library.
