James Lycett, Journal

  • ZA HPRA A72
  • Fonds
  • 1854

Journey: August 8, 1854 – November 11, 1854

The James Lycett Journal describes a “Journey to Namaqualand from Cape Town, commenced on Tuesday August 8th, 1854 in company with J. Calvert Esq., Coachman John Southgate, and Daangie, a Hottentot” (p.1) Another man named March, described as a “Hottentot boy,” also travelled with them. The Journal ends on November 11, 1854, with Lycett alone in Hondeklip Bay.

The Lycett party was part of the Namaqualand copper boom of 1854, and crossed paths with other prospectors, local farmers, and some government officials, including Charles Davidson Bell, Surveyor General, and Dr. William Guybon Atherstone, who later reported on the geology of the region to the Government. Atherstone kept three notebooks of his 1854 trip to Namaqualand, which describe similar struggles of travel but offer a different perspective on the people he met - including John Calvert.

The Atherstone notebooks are held in the Albany Museum in Grahamstown (Makhanda) in the Section that used to be the Settler Museum. My thanks to Dr. Elizabeth van Heyningen, Honorary Research Associate [HRA], History Department, University of Stellenbosch, for this information.

National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) records

  • ZA HPRA AD1702
  • Fonds
  • circa 1950-circa 1965

This sequence is at present separated from the archives files from 1965 onwards.

It is divided into categories, arranged alphabetically, and, as far aspossible, sub-divisions are indicated within files. 'See also' notes are given wherever possible, but in the absence of a name and subject index, it has not always been possible to indicate clearly all the areas that should be examined in relation to any one individual or topic.

Separate categories are indicated clearly both on the 'jackets' and on the shelves in the NUSAS offices.

The location of material on the microfiche is marked opposite each entry. The number in brackets indicates the microfiche number.

Finally, it must be noted that categories have been allocated in terms of the structure of NUSAS with the purpose of making the archives 'usable' for students in South Africa seeking guidance and information from the past.
