The photographic archive in Special Collections has material that spans a period from the inception of photography to the present day, from fragile prints to digital format.
Our primary collections consist of archival holdings such as manuscripts, audiovisual archives, photographs and the UCT Historical Pamphlets and Photographs Collection.
