South African Tin Workers' Union (SATWU) Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL2420
  • Fonds
  • 1937 - 1978

The collection is very small, 0.3 linear metres. SAHA received it as part of the Natal Indian Congress (NIC) collection, but it is clear that it constitutes an archive in its own and was added to the NIC collection by mistake.

South African Youth Congress (SAYCO) Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL2425
  • Fonds
  • 1987 - 1990

These documents received by SAHA from SAYCO Head Office are not the complete archives of SAYCO. It is doubtful if records of the period before 1990 were kept or even exist at all given the repressive conditions of the period. Thus, this collection has documents mainly from 1990. This is a small collection, comprising of 3 archival boxes.

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/.

A guide to archival resources relating to South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission can also be found at: http://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/trc_directory.pdf

Julie Frederikse Collection

  • ZA SAHA AL2460
  • Fonds
  • 1979 - 1990

I have first arranged all the transcripts (A - P). In many instances these are transcripts of the audio-cassettes under T. Where possible I have tried to indicate that an audio-cassette of the interview exists, I have added 'T' after the description to indicate this. Please refer to Section T to find the audio-cassette number.

The audio-cassettes have been numerically numbered in the order that they were kept at PHT. This was done to accommodate the fact that in some instances, one cassette would have more than one interview. I have added a prefix T to the number to denote that it is a tape and the figure in brackets denotes the length of the tape in minutes. However, under T in this inventory I have arranged the list of interviewees alphabetically by surname and have attempted to group the other interviews.

Section S contains 140 edited interviews of those found under section A. These are also arranged alphabetically by surname.

Furthermore, the individual interviews under A, N and T have not been included in the index. The alphabetical arrangement is sufficient in finding the relevant interviewee
