Materials collected from TRC Archival Audit.
The TRC Archival Audit
Between 2003 and 2006, SAHA and Historical Papers, University of Witwatersrand embarked on a project to locate, retrieve and make available records relating to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC). The project entailed conducting an archival audit of all existing TRC records in order to identify and locate documentation in danger of being lost.
In the process of conducting the archival audit, SAHA and HP located many collections from individuals and organizations that participated in the TRC process, including this collection. Selections from these materials as well as TRC related material found in the freedom of Information Collection and other pre-existing SAHA and HP collections, were digitized and can be accessed online at http://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/
A guide to archival resources relating to South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission can also be found at http://www.saha.org.za/pdf/trc_directory.pdf

Transvaal Indian Congress (TIC) Collection
This is the official collection of the (revived) TIC. The bulk of the material comes from the TIC offices, which included the records of the Transvaal Anti-SAIC Committee. The collection therefore spans the period 1981-1991. The material from the 1960s was also at the TIC offices, having been deposited there by Dr Essop Jassat in the mid 1980s.
The TIC also had extensive UDF documentation, which was removed from this collection and added to the UDF Collection (AL2431) to make that collection complete, and to avoid duplication. In 1987 the TIC undertook a major survey of Indian political attitudes in the Transvaal. This was done under the auspices of Dr. David Webster, Wits University under the specially created Community Resource Group.
