Robert McNab donated his extensive collection to the City of Dunedin through Mayor Downie Stewart in November 1913. Dunedin Public Library were to receive his book collection, while his papers went to the Alexander Turnbull Library.
"I have a Library of New Zealand books, papers and pamphlets, collected over a number of years in various parts of the world, and which I think would serve students of New Zealand literature if made available in a public institution. If your Library Committee is prepared to favourably house and maintain the Collection, I am prepared to hand it over to your City." - Robert McNab
