- Documentation Centre for Music
-
The Documentation Centre for Music (DOMUS), at the Stellenbosch University Music Library, has its origins in the work and interests of staff and students at the Department of Music at Stellenbosch University. These include, at various times, academic staff members and Music library staff. The existence of this Centre on a more formal basis is due to the efforts of Dr. Stephanus Muller, and funding provided by the Stellenbosch University Music Department and the Vice-rector Research at Stellenbosch University. In August 2005 an archivist was appointed.
