Salvage work at the Jagger Library at the University of Cape Town is under way after the Table Mountain fire of Sunday, 18 April.

, said volunteers were still needed to help salvage and remove works in the Jagger Library in the wake of the recent fire that swept across Table Mountain.

Since 1953, the Jagger Library has housed most of the African Studies collection, maps, rare antiquarian books, film, video collections, newspapers, journals, magazines, pamphlets, manuscripts and photographs. Most of these publications are scarce and date back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. “The fire destroyed most of the African Studies published print collection, including the entire African Studies film collection on DVD, all the UCT calendars, some of the heavily used government publications documents from South Africa and across the continent, and manuscripts and archives kept in the reading room for processing or digitisation or awaiting transfer after being digitised.
