The collection contains some of the working papers that were generated by Douglas McGavin Calerwood during his time at the Department of Architecture at the University of the Witwatersrand.

Gerhard Maré book 'Declassified' drew from what might be called an ‘Archive on post-1994 racialism’ that he collected since 1990. In addition to other materials, this consists of press clippings selected through the filter of his own theoretical and empirical interests. The organising principle of the tens of thousands of clippings is the pervasive presence of race thinking (racialism), actions informed by such thinking, and templates that demand the continuation of racialism, in South Africa post-1994.

'Out of darkness: from cattle-herding to the editor's chair'

The unpublished manuscript provides Selope Thema's reminiscences of his childhood; BaPedi tradition in the former Northern Transvaal; his activities during the second Anglo-Boer War; his determination to be educated; and his days at Lovedale.

The collection comprises of correspondences, speeches, research papers, newspaper clippings, and tape recordings collected by Jack Viviers. Most of these are from the National Party Presidesnt P W Botha's office.

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.
