The curator’s position at the Janet Cosh Herbarium is currently vacant. This position was funded from the Janet Cosh Bequest made in 1989. Unfortunately, the bequest was expended in 2020 and currently there seems to be no alternative funding within the University of Wollongong.
However, resources to support the Herbarium are still available within the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Life Sciences.
Flowering Wonderfully, the Botanical Legacy of Janet Cosh (2012)
A BEQUEST to the Janet Cosh Herbarium is a rewarding way to leave a lasting legacy to botanical education and taxonomic research and show a commitment to the environment. Janet Cosh understood this when she made a bequest in 1989 to establish the Janet Cosh Herbarium. The integrity of Janet’s bequest has been honoured by the University of Wollongong for over 30 years.
