A memorandum of agreement was signed between the University of the Free State (UFS) and the National Museum. In the agreement the two institutions give each other access to the education and research facilities of the other in the natural and humanities sciences. Although informal co-operation agreements have existed between the UFS and the National Museum for a while, this is the first time that a formal agreement was signed.
