  • Guide to the Manuscripts in the University of Cape Town Libraries
    GUIDE TO THE MANUSCRIPTS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN LIBRARIES CONSOLIDATED VERSION JUNE 2013 ii LIST OF CONTENTS PREFACE . v LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS . vii MANUSCRIPTS . 1 INDEX . 452 iii iv PREFACE GENERAL This guide was compiled from the printed guide and first supplement entitled Handlist of Manuscripts in the University of Cape Town Libraries, which was published during 1968, and three typewritten accession lists. This NAREM edition was assembled and updated in accordance with guidelines laid down by the National Archivist of the Republic of South Africa. The term manuscript is used to cover all handwritten documents whether originals or transcripts, or photographic or microfilm reproductions of such documents. The term is also used to include documents of which the original was typescript. Initially the University of Cape Town Libraries possessed only a very small number of manuscripts. During the 1940s, however, a few large collections of papers and manuscripts were received, such as the Dr. CL Leipoldt Papers and the Sir Walter Stanford Papers. From about 1947, serious attention began to be given to the problem of preserving manuscripts and also of assembling the University archives. From the early 1950s onwards purposeful efforts were made to organize and record these collections. The Archives of the University of Cape Town have of recent years been organized as a separate unit. The bulk of the manuscripts in the University of Cape Town Libraries consists of collections of family papers and other private papers, but miscellaneous documents (i.e. literary and music manuscripts), and even single items, are also included. The manuscripts are mainly of South African interest, but there are a small number of non- South African manuscripts.

Cormack received his B.Sc. in physics in 1944 from the University of Cape Town and his M.Sc. in crystallography in 1945 from the same institution. He was a research student at Cambridge University from 1947–50. He returned to the University of Cape Town in early 1950 to lecture. Following a sabbatical at Harvard in 1955-56, Cormack became a professor at Tufts University in the fall of 1956-64. Although he was mainly working on particle physics, Cormack's side interest in x-ray technology led him to develop the theoretical underpinnings of CT scanning. This work was initiated at the University of Cape Town and Groote Schuur Hospital in early 1956 and continued briefly in mid-1957 after Cormack returned from his sabbatical. His results were subsequently published in two papers in the Journal of Applied Physics in 1963 and 1964.

A recent initiative of the committee was to draw up a declaration. It is seen as a unified statement rejecting compulsory conscription into the SADF. We would like your organisation / you as an individual to endorse the declaration by signing the attached copy and returning it to the above address. JChe declaration will not serve as a petition. The intention is to distribute as widely as possible in order to publicize the campaign. In addition, the declaration will probably be released to the press.
