Description: Glass-fronted wooden bookcase with 3 shelves and 2 lockable doors. Inscribed in gold lettering, capital letters: Furneaux Memorial Library. This collection was established by a donation of $100 given by the Furneaux [sic] family of Melbourne during the Captain Cook Bi-Centenary celebrations, June 1971. Due to lack of space in the new Whitemark library built in 1987 the cabinet housing the collection was given to the Museum. The collection of books remained with the library
