The great granddaughter of Dr Jotello F. Soga, the first South African to qualify as a veterinarian (1886, University of Edinburgh) visited the Veterinary Science Library in October 2008. She is Carole Gallagher, and lives in England.
The photo shows Carole and her husband, with Erica van der Westhuizen, head of the library.
The grand daughter of Sir Arnold Theiler who founded the Faculty of Veterinary Science in 1920, the only veterinary training institution in South Africa, also paid the library a visit in October. Elizabeth Theiler Martin was accompanied by her husband. They live in New York.
They were most interested to see the photo albums of Sir Arnold's world travels which we are now digitising and uploading in the university's institutional repository, UPSpace.
