Abstract:
Mr David Swanepoel served as librarian of the Onderstepoort Veterinary Research (OVR) Institute from his appointment in 1985 until retiring in 2020 but passed away shortly afterwards. David was a co-opted founder member of the SAVA's Veterinary
History Committee (VHC) in 1995 and enthusiastically
participated in all its activities and projects, including authoring
a chapter on the OVR Library in the Onderstepoort 1908-
2008 book. His sustained, highly productive contribution to veterinary science makes David Swanepoel a worthy recipient of a posthumous conferral of this
honour.
