The History workshop at the University of the Witwatersrand, is a group of loosely constituted interdisciplinary academics and associated researchers, involved in a range of heritage and public history projects. Since its inception in 1977 it has been promoting research into the lives, experiences and social worlds of people and communities in South Africa, to address the erasures of colonialism and apartheid.
