Dear all,
After emailing backwards and forwards between ourselves and the University of Cape Town about another matter that pertained to publishing information on our website, the person we were corresponding with brought to our attention about VERY old maps of South Africa that include the town of Volksrust.
We then requested permission to link to the maps from the Special Collections Department of the Online Library of the University of Cape Town.
We are pleased to inform you that we have been given permission to include the links below for members of the Internet Public to access and view. Thank you so much Michael (Principal Archivist) from the Primary Collections, Special Collections, UCT Libraries!
After clicking on the link of your choice, the page will open in a new tab so that you will not be diverted away from this page. After landing on the map of your choice, click on it to enlarge it and then click on it again so that you can view the map up close.
Enjoy!
