The Australian National Botanic Gardens, jointly with the Australian National Herbarium, manages a large collection of photographs and other illustrations of its activities and Australian botany. The bulk of the collection consists of identified Australian plant species, but there is also a large number of environmental and conservation images.

Most of the images are on 35mm slides, but from 2005 born-digital photographs from high resolution digital cameras have been added to the collection.
