Abstract:

The history of veterinary science and education in South Africa is embedded within the colonial history of South Africa and is essential to understand and appreciate its contribution to the well-being of the country. Observations on unknown animal diseases that occurred during this historical period in South Africa were documented into written descriptions like journal articles and theses and captured as photos and glass negatives. A vast collection of historical material is available through commercial publications, but it is often grey literature such as archival material, which is difficult to locate, that is crucial to complete the picture.
