Formed in September 1987, the National Progressive Primary Health Care Network was established in order to promote Primary Health Care, particularly to poor people in rural areas. The NPPHCN was committed to equal, accessible, good health services which everyone can afford and access, and that there should be a national health service.

The collection contains a number of images by Afrapix photographers, which were used by the NPPHCN for exhibitions, conferences, pamphlets and other outreach material. Included are Graham Goddard, Guy Tillim, Cedric Nunn, Roger Meintjes, Chris Ledochowski, Lesley Lawson, Gisele Wulfsohn, Gideon Mendel, Anna Zieminski, Steve Hilton-Barber, Gill De Vlieg.

The photographs were taken by Ellen Elmendorp during a rally after the release of Patrick "Terror" Lekota from Robben Island. He was one of the accused in the Delmas Treason Trial.

The collection contains the personal and professional papers of Chief Justice Arthur Chaskalson. Justice Arthur Chaskalson was the President of the Constitutional Court of South Africa from 1994 to 2001 and Chief Justice of South Africa from 2001 to 2005. He was also part of the defence council during the Delmas Treason Trial (1985-1989), also known as the Vaal Triangle Treason Trial.

Some of the Afrapix photographers have deposited their collections at the University of Cape Town, where there have been digitised and made available as part of the UCT Libraries Digital Collections.
