Papers of Bp. George Wolfe Robert Tobias

  • ZA HPRA AB934
  • Fonds
  • 1882 - 1970

The papers relate mostly to the life of George Wolfe Robert Tobias (1882-1974). This correspondence gives an excellent description of the Church's work in South West Africa and also of the conditions and customs of the tribes living there, both written and pictorially. The papers also touch on the Kwanyaaa language in which George became so successful. He translated the Prayer Book and produced a hymnal. Ho also translated Hermann Tones 'Kwanyama Ora Emar' from German into English.

Canon Charles Frederick Tobias (ca 1850-1939), George's father, and a converted Jew, in correspondence to his wife, Ethel, also gives an interesting account of life in the field, where he served as Chaplain in the Boer War 1900-1901.

The papers also consist of the skeletal draft of the biography of George Tobias by Rev. Basil I. C. Turvey which contains a vivid description of the life of George and his work on the mission station and the people connected with him and a brief description from the Encyclopaedia of Southern African South West Africa.

African Bishops

  • ZA HPRA AB742
  • Fonds
  • 1889 - 1934

Calendar.

The letters are interesting, not only giving a good picture of the work of the Anglican church in various parts of Africa but also fore-shadowing some of the political problems which have arisen in Africa such as the racial friction between black and white, the colour bar in South Africa and the church's attitude to it and the question of the native franchise. From the letters it appears that there were problems common to the various dioceses such as the shortage of clergy, need for more money, the importance of educating the African and training African priests and the difficulties of working in vast areas where parishes were scattered.

  • ZA HPRA AB739

The Knight-Bruce papers consist of 40 items spanning the years 1836-1950 with the greatest number being on the Bishop's work in Africa, (1886-1894). Perhaps the most interesting item is a polyglot bible, given to the bishop by his wife and carried by him on his African journeys, which contains manuscript notes on the Knight-Bruce family and marginal notes in the Bishop's hand. Another interesting item is a notebook, alphabetically arranged, with the Bishop's bible references.

There are miscellaneous papers e.g, print, but to other members of the Knight-Bruce family such as Sir James Lewis Knight-Bruce, Judge, Gordon Kennett Knight-Bruce, Judge and Acting Chief Justice, Tanganyika and John Horace Wyndham Knight-Bruce, author. The papers were purchased from Peter Eaton.
