History
Charles Villa-Vicencio is the former Director of Research of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
The records accumulations that were generated by the Research Department during Villa-Vicencio's tenure are official TRC records and are therefore in the custody of the National Archives and Records Services of South Africa (NARS). Access to the records accumulations in the custody of the National Archives is governed by provisions of the Promotion of Access to Information Act No. 2 of 2000 (PAIA).
The request for such access is conducted through the Department of Justice.
The URL of officials dealing with PAIA requests is located at: wkekana@justice.gov.za and nlouw@justice.gov.za
The papers that make up this collection originated at various national and international conferences that focused on the South African TRC to which Villa-Vicencio had been invited to speak in his private capacity, but as an expert on the TRC.
Villa-Vicencio has published prolifically. His TRC-related publications are reflected in the Select Bibliography on the South African Truth and Reconciliation that is appended to the Directory of TRC Archival Resources.
