Biographical history
In 2002 SAHA and Historical Papers embarked on a joint research project to locate records pertaining to the TRC with the objective of producing a Directory of TRC Archival Resources. The TRC Oral History Project formed an integral part of this process and three individuals were employed to collect oral testimonies of individuals who worked for the Commission in various capacities and in different locales. The resulting resource is accessible as an Historical Papers collection.

Scope and content
Although 65 interviews were conducted for this project, only 63 interviews are available, as two interviews were not recorded properly. Interview protocol differed slightly depending on the interviewer and when the interview was scheduled. In cases where questions in the general protocol were unrelated to the specific work of the person being profiled, questions more appropriate to the work of the individual were posed.
This collection is accessible at Historical Papers (HP) Archive as collection A2985. To consult this collection contact Historical Papers at University of the Witwatersrand. (http://www.historicalpapers.wits.ac.za/)
