The Lloyd Library and Museum advocates for education in plant-based science, medicine, conservation, art, and history. It aims to provide resources that engage visitors and researchers from the community and around the globe, supporting its goal to grow, connect, sustain, and impact the community through a strategic plan.
The Curtis Gates Lloyd Fellowship is designed to support research at the Lloyd Library and Museum, necessitating on-site use of the library's collections. It targets a wide range of topics including botany, medicinal botany, ethnobotany, natural history, conservation, early travel and exploration, the history of science, medicine, or pharmacy, and medical and pharmaceutical illustration. Fellowships, offered in one-month increments for up to three months, come with a stipend—$2,000 per month for local recipients and $3,000 per month for those coming from outside the region.
