Donors

The National Library of Scotland is most grateful to all those trusts, foundations, individuals and companies who have made gifts, pledges or bequest commitments. We would like to thank those listed below for their support of the ongoing Campaign for the John Murray Archive, and other work of the Library, as well as those supporters who wish to remain anonymous.

John Murray Archive (JMA Project)

John Murray VII offered NLS the opportunity to acquire the archive in 2002. So committed was John Murray to NLS acquiring the archive that he offered a reduced purchase price of £31.2 million, despite a formal valuation at over £45 million. Rather than benefit any one individual, the proceeds from the sale have formed the John R Murray Charitable Trust, with a purpose of supporting a range of heritage projects. The generosity of John Murray and his family is greatly appreciated by NLS, and has ensured that the archive will benefit the nation for generations to come.
