UCT Libraries Digital Collections represent a selection of material available through UCT’s archival holdings, primarily held in UCT Libraries Special Collections, but also gathered through academic field recordings, primary data collation and UCT departmental collections.
This is a growing resource as we are committed to the responsible generation of content rich collections that are curated in active support of research and teaching.
