Digital Resources

Digitization is an excellent way to simultaneously preserve Archival material and make it more accessible. Please follow the links below to gain access to resources already digitized.

Matieland

Publication of Die Stellenbosse Oudstudent , predecessor of Matieland,  was ceased in 1947.  However the need to communicate with Alumni and Donors became more and more apparent as the years went by.  Finally in 1957 Matieland saw the light of day.  Through the years the look and feel and the content went through many changes, but to this day it remains an important source of information about Stellenbosch University.  Click here for access to Matieland from 1957 to 2014.
