Me he centrado en la biblioteca de la UCT por lo que pueda haberse perdido irremediablemente, pero la montaña de la que hablo en mi primer tuit es la famosa Montaña de la Mesa (Table Mountain), parque nacional. #Sudáfrica #capetownfire

Aquí un académico asegura que la mayoría de los archivos de las Colecciones Especiales se movieron a un edificio contiguo, que podría quemarse también si llegan las llamas. Tal vez pueda salvarse material importante. #CapeTown #capetownfire #CiudaddelCabo #Sudafrica https://twitter.com/oscarsibabalwe/status/1383812868156493838

“Most of those archives were moved to another building, but that building is close enough to the building now on fire so it too may also burn with all those other archival collections. 💔 https://t.co/CdT3dsNLlm”
