Two years after the devastating UCT Fire of 18 April 2021, UCT in partnership with DStv Africa have launched ‘Stories from the ashes’, which includes a special book made from the ash and remnants of the fire.
The library contains many early botanical works, including the writings of early 17th-century travellers who visited southern Africa and explored its flora. It serves academics and students from Biological Sciences and Bolus Herbarium.
