David Forbes Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL3138
  • Collection
  • 1980

The collection includes a range of student newspapers from different universities from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Forbes was involved as contributor and part of the editorial teams for these newspapers. These materials are listed in section A of the inventory.

Forbes also donated a significant number of 1994 elections posters (mostly posterboards) to the archive. These materials are described in section B of the inventory. The posters are incorporated into the SAHA Poster collection (AL2446).

Forbes and SAHA also requested documents through a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) request in conjunction with SAHA for the making of his documentary on the Cradock Four - these documents are included in the Freedom of Information Programme (FOIP) collection (AL2878) at SAHA.

  • ZA SAHA AL2934
  • Fonds
  • 1983-1998

Compiled by Dawie Bosch, a lawyer, this collection consists of three discrete archives groups.

A collection of newspaper clippings and pamphlets, published in the wake of the announcement of the Tricameral Parliament forms the third group.

De Wet Potgieter collection

  • ZA SAHA AL3283
  • Fonds
  • 1993 - 1994

The De Wet Potgieter collection consists of three series:

The oral history interviews with individuals in military intelligence include the audio interviews (MP3), transcripts and translated transcripts (Afrikaans and English) of interviews, and interviewee release forms. De Wet Potgieter conducted these interviews on behalf of SAHA in 2009-2010 as a contracted employee. SAHA is the copyright holder for these materials.

The document collection, relating to the activities of Military Intelligence and the Security Branch of the SAP during the apartheid era and extremist right wing organisations in South Africa (1980s-1990s), contains top secret and confidential documents, booklets, pamphlets, information sheets, correspondence, notes, including explanatory notes/narratives by the donor for each of the sub-series. Faxed items in the collection have been photocopied and/or scanned due to the fading nature of this format. Photographs contained in an Appeal document and 6 videos form part of this series.

The Doug Lee photographic material constitutes a selection of digitised images of negatives from the photographer's collection that is most pertinent to the De Wet Potgieter collection as a whole.

Due to the nature of this collection a substantial portion of the material is in Afrikaans. These are indicated in the inventory.

The first series of oral history interviews has been arranged chronologically.

The second series of documents came to SAHA already sorted by the donor, and this greatly assisted with the final arrangement of the materials as the order defined by the donor was mostly retained. In 2014 De Wet Potgieter added documents relating to the assassination of former Swedish prime minister Olof Palme to his collection and these documents are archived as sub series B1.5.6.

The Doug Lee photographic material consists of negatives stored in 6 files, 1 box and 1 envelope. Although the photographer filed these negatives according to the dates on which the photographs were taken, the dates of events overlap in some of the files, e.g. File 1 (1993-1994), File 2 (1994-2003), File 3 (1997), and File 4 (1996-1999), File 5 (2000-2003), File 6 (2002-2003). Only those negatives containing images relevant to the De Wet Potgieter collection as a whole were selected for digitisation, and only those are described in the inventory. However, the numbering of the selected images indicates that these images form part of a larger collection of Doug Lee materials.

Materials collected from TRC Archival Audit.

The TRC Archival Audit

SAHA and Historical Papers, University of Witwatersrand have embarked on a project to locate and retrieve records relating to the Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC). The project entailed conducting an archival audit of all existing TRC records in order to identify and locate documentation in danger of being lost.

In the process of conducting the archival audit, SAHA and HP located many collections from individuals and organizations that participated in the TRC process. Selections from these materials as well as TRC related material found in the freedom of Information Collection and other pre-existing SAHA and HP collections, were digitized and can be accessed online at http://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/.

Department of Education Nkosi Albert Luthuli Young Historians' Oral History Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL3285
  • Fonds
  • 2008

This collection consists mainly of learner and educator portfolios submitted for the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 competitions by province, and relating administrative material. Some portfolios include CDs, DVDs and photographs. A number of gaps have been identified in the collection that has been donated so far. The material from the 2006 competition shows an absence of learner and educator portfolios from the KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Cape, North West and Western Cape provinces. However, the absence of these portfolios could also indicate that no portfolios were submitted from these provinces for that year. 2006 and 2007 competitions lack administrative material. No educator portfolios were received from any of the provinces for the 2008 competition. The list of award winners from the different provinces in this category is proof that these portfolios do exist.
