Transvaal Indian Congress (TIC) Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL2563
  • Archief
  • 1981 - 1991

This is the official collection of the (revived) TIC. The bulk of the material comes from the TIC offices, which included the records of the Transvaal Anti-SAIC Committee. The collection therefore spans the period 1981-1991. The material from the 1960s was also at the TIC offices, having been deposited there by Dr Essop Jassat in the mid 1980s.

The TIC also had extensive UDF documentation, which was removed from this collection and added to the UDF Collection (AL2431) to make that collection complete, and to avoid duplication. In 1987 the TIC undertook a major survey of Indian political attitudes in the Transvaal. This was done under the auspices of Dr. David Webster, Wits University under the specially created Community Resource Group.

SAHA Original Photograph Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL2547
  • Archief
  • 1980 - 1990

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.

The TRC Archival Audit

Between 2003 and 2006, SAHA and Historical Papers, University of Witwatersrand embarked on a project to locate, retrieve and make available records relating to the South African 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, including this collection. 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/

Christelle Terreblanche Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL3128
  • Archief
  • 2002 - 2004

The articles that make up this collection are not dated in terms of the year in which they were written, but rather by day and month. The reason for this phenomenon is relatively simple: Terreblanche donated the electronic copies that she had written for Independent Newspapers to the SAHA/HP Special Project on the TRC in the same format in which she had submitted them to Independent Newspapers - sans year, but with indications for which edition the articles were written: that is, for the morning or evening newspaper, or for a Saturday or Sunday edition.

In addition Terreblanche sent SAHA the articles as clusters without paying strict attention to chronological order with respect to the dates of the days. Nonetheless the author of this inventory conducted an online search and was able to ascertain in which year the clusters of articles were written.

In order to maintain the order in which Terreblanche had written the articles, they appear in this inventory in the chronological order and in the groups determined by Terreblanche, not according to topics or issues such as 'Reparations', or 'Presidential Pardons', for example.

On a final note: the title and dates on each article document the title given by Terreblanche and the date on which she submitted the respective article to the newspaper house.

In the case of the article being published, the (edited) article appears under a title determined by the Editors, and on the date determined by them.
