This collection is not a large collection, comprising of 10 archival boxes. It is also not the official NIC collection but was donated to SAHA by the Centre for Community and Labour Studies (CCLS) in Durban. Some of the material given to us by CCLS has been separated from this collection as it was clear that it constituted a separate archive, that of the South African Tin Workers' Union.

The collection includes minutes, reports, conference papers and audio recordings, photographs and other organisational material. Of particular interest are documents on the organisation of white activists in the Democratic Movement.

Not all the photographs in the SAHA Collections form part of the Original SAHA Photograph Collection. In order to retain the provenance of photographs from other collections, these photos have not been incorporated into the original photo collection, but have kept the call numbers of the collections to which they belong, such as AL2424 (JODAC), AL3051 (Hilda & Rusty Bernstein), AL2564 (Five Freedoms Forum), AL2566 (PLANACT), AL2686 (The Indian Community in the Transvaal), AL2719 (Centre for South-South relations), AL2937, AL2991 (Patrick Fitzgerald), AL3158 (Michael Harmel) AL3265 (Zenzo Nkobi). However, because of their format, all the photographs are stored together.

The images in this collection have been digitized by Africa Media Online, a Pietermaritzburg based organisation.

The photographs have been arranged in sections 1-28 according to subject matter. Although the original classification has been retained, the subsections have been renumbered due to inconsistency of the old numbering system.

This is a large and extensive collection, which had been donated to the periodicals section of the University of the Witwatersrand's Library. The following periodicals remain in the South African History Archive (SAHA) holdings: 'ANC Weekly News briefings', 1979-1984; 'Workers' Unity' (Organ of South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU)) Nos. 1-28, 38, 40, 41, 67 and 70 and a special issue on JB Marks 'Resister: Journal of the Committee of Southern African War Resistance (COSAWR) March 1979-June 1990.

The collection includes publications, pamphlets, posters, flyers, booklets, tapes, videocassettes, and proposals for voter education.
