UCT Libraries

There are many rare and valuable books in the various subject-focused sub-collections in Special Collections.

Our published collections include African studies books, films, maps, newspapers, government publications, rare and Antiquarian books, and pamphlets.

Special Collections is the preservation library and archive of UCT Libraries, with an array of rare holdings in a range of formats.

The Hiddingh Hall Library serves the Centre for Theatre, Dance & Performing Studies and the Michaelis School of Fine Art. Located in the heart of the Hiddingh Campus, we help you make the best use of our library resources and collections.
