His passing provides time for us, his family, friends and colleagues, to pause and ponder the nature of his contribution to the built environment, and especially the humanity and social concerns that he expressed in his life and work. Revel presented a remarkable fusion between an intellectual disposition towards cities and buildings and how they grow, a passionate care and concern for the people who inhabit them, a sensual delight in the art of design and creation and a concern for timelessness and what can be learned from the field of vernacular architecture. A firmly held and finely honed attitude towards architectural and urban aesthetics and history was balanced by an empathy for the social problems caused by the Apartheid City and a considered approach to the ways in which the architectural and planning professions could possibly contribute to a more humane and equitable city. Underpinning this all were qualities of integrity, care, consideration and a gentle courtesy. His legacy is marked, as Neville Dubow stressed in his tribute at the memorial service to Revel, by the pursuit of excellence.

The Guide is indexed, and is keyword-searchable in its electronic form, enabling users to identify collections that may hold sources of relevance to their research. Detailed finding aids exist for most collections and these may be consulted in the Special Collections reading room or in the on-line database of archival finding aids, Access to Memory, AtoM@UCT (see below). In most cases, electronic versions of the finding aids can be e-mailed to users at their request. These detailed finding aids will enable users to identify and request access to specific archival material on the basis of the references they contain. Structure of the Guide to the Manuscripts The first field in each entry indicates whether the material is kept on site or in off-site archival storage. In the latter case, advance notice of a visit to consult the material is essential. The term “manuscript” is used to denote the type of material in all the entries in the Guide meaning that the bulk of the material comprises original, unpublished primary sources, whether handwritten or typescript, photographic, microform, or electronic in format.
