The collection contains the contributions received from members of the foreign service of South Africa between the years 1960 to 1994. These 'raw' versions of contributions were used to compile the trilogy "From Verwoerd to Mandela: South African diplomats remember", compiled by Pieter Wolvaardt, Tom Wheeler and Werner Scholtz. A number of general emails have also been included to add further context.

The trilogy consists of the volumes 1) The wild honey of Africa, 2) The noose tightens, and 3) Total onslaught to normalisation, and has been compiled from the contributions of more than 100 ex-South African diplomats. The texts contain varied stories from the Apartheid-era diplomatic service with material and photographs never previously published. Reference is made to the published volumes at the William Cullen Library, University of the Witwatersrand.

"The war in South Africa". Corrected galley and page proofs.

It is believed that these proofs are the result of Col. G.F.R. Henderson's work on a book of the first British official history of the South African War (1899-1902), for which he was appointed in 1901. He died in early 1903 before completing the book. Henderson's work was never published, as the UK government at the time decided that his first draft chapters were too controversial to publish.
