The RHS is custodian of the [[Lindley Library]], housed within its headquarters at 80 [[Vincent Square]], London, and in branches at each of its four gardens. The library is based upon the book collection of [[John Lindley]].<ref name=lindley>{{cite news|first=Sophie |last=Campbell|date=3 August 2012|title=RHS Lindley Library collection: all hail our plant hunters|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/9444972/RHS-Lindley-Library-collection-all-hail-our-plant-hunters.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/9444972/RHS-Lindley-Library-collection-all-hail-our-plant-hunters.html |archive-date=2022-01-12 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |newspaper=Daily Telegraph|access-date=12 August 2014}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

The RHS Herbarium has its own image library (collection) consisting of more than 3,300 original watercolours, approximately 30,000 colour slides and a rapidly increasing number of digital images. Although most of the images have been supplied by photographers commissioned by the RHS, the archive includes a substantial number of slides from the [[Harry Smith Collection]] and [[NCCPG National Plant Collection|Plant Heritage National Plant Collection]] holders.<ref name="RHS Herb Img">{{cite web |url=http://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/Plant-science/RHS-Herbarium/Collections/Images |title=Image collection / RHS Gardening |access-date=2011-03-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524051516/http://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/Plant-science/RHS-Herbarium/Collections/Images |archive-date=2011-05-24 }}</ref>
