Gifts & Donations
Over the years, Lane Medical Library has been deeply grateful for the generosity of individuals and departments who have enriched our collection through monetary donations and materials gifts.
Today as we work to stretch our acquisitions budget, we continue to welcome contributions to support our overall library mission.
Monetary gifts, current and newly published books, especially publications by Stanford authors have a direct impact on our collections, programs, and facilities.

Financial contributions can be made in memory of family members, colleagues, and friends or to recognize special individuals.

Current Materials
We accept books published in the last two years, within the scope of our collection, especially publications from Stanford authors and alumni.
Lane Library no longer accepts donations of periodicals/journals.
Due to staffing, space limitations and the growth of our digital special collections, we are forced to curtail acceptance of physical materials.
For donations outside of our accepted current materials, please check our Gift Referral list or visit the Stanford University Libraries gift opportunities page .
Historical, Rare Books and Artifacts
If you are considering donation of historical materials (including personal papers, historical medical artifacts, and pre-1900 publications) please contact Historical Curator at the Stanford Medical History Center :
