This collection was opened by Julie Frederikse while she began researching her book The Unbreakable Thread: Non-Racialism in South Africa. The photographs she gathered, numbering over 1200, form the bulk of this collection. Captured by photographers from Afrapix and International Defence and Aid Fund (IDAF), and other photographers of the time, this collection of 'struggle photography' is a visual document of South Africa's turbulent political past, and include topics such as: African National Congress, Conscription, Education, Elections, Funerals, Labour, Living Conditions, Military and Police, National Party, Protests, Transvaal Indian Congress, Resistance, and Unrest.

This section contains journal articles relating to Afrapix, which have been written by various authors about Afrapix. They were provided in digital format.

The interviews were facilitated and carried out by the Robert Sobukwe Trust and the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Museum & Learning Centre, as well as the Wits History workshop, University of the Witwatersrand.

Most of the interviews relate to the history around Graaff-Reinet. However, all of the interviews under "Sobukwe and PAC" relate to topics over and above local history.
