These documents received by SAHA from SAYCO Head Office are not the complete archives of SAYCO. It is doubtful if records of the period before 1990 were kept or even exist at all given the repressive conditions of the period. Thus, this collection has documents mainly from 1990. This is a small collection, comprising of 3 archival boxes.
Correspondence, minutes of meetings, reports and articles, photographs. Includes information on animal research facilities in South Africa, primate trapping, drugs, cosmetics and legislation.
The collection contains the documents relating to the activities of the Southern African Centre for Survivors of Torture and concentrates on the Zimbabwe Torture Victims/Survivors Project run by this organisation.
