The co-patrons apparently support endeavours to ensure that Eureka receives the ongoing recognition it deserves and the claim that the centre has the capacity to spread the Eureka message far and wide.
My question is "Where then is the research library?" There are many aspects of Eureka that are still being actively researched after 159 years.

If ever there was an opportunity, this surely was the place and time to create such a facility.
