Preserve records in time, says archivist

07 May 2012

The Administrative Archives unit has called on UCT departments to deposit their hard-copy records regularly to preserve invaluable information.

Now housed in Mill Court, Main Road, Mowbray, the unit boasts the latest technology to control humidity and temperature. This ensures that records are not affected by fluctuating weather conditions, says archivist Lionel Smidt.

Administrative Archives, run by Smidt and assistant archivist Stephen Herandien, falls under the Office of the Registrar. It was originally based in Bremner Building and moved to Kramer in 1989, before relocating to Mill Court late in 2010.
