The collection consists of the working papers of Noel Stott's, at the time a staff member at the Institute of Security Studies (ISS), and is mainly relating to the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Project. Included are conference, seminar and workshop material; conference papers by Noel Stott and others; photographs and publications; general brochures and publications of position and discussion papers; outreach material.

The collection contains 62 interviews with representatives from labour and corporate relating to the auto industry in South Africa, particularly the German company Volkswagen. It also contains his PhD thesis, which he submitted in 2005 and for which the interviews were conducted.

The collection contains the papers of Sister Priscilla Dlamini, the founder and project manager of Holy Cross AIDS Hospice at Emoyeni, Gingindlovu, in the Catholic Diocese of Eshowe.

The documents in the collection cover a feud between Sr Dlamini and priests and some members of the community in her parish. The dispute was referred to the head of the Catholic Church in South Africa and eventually the Vatican in Rome, who both mediated in favour of Sr Dlamini.

The articles relate to the chemical analysis of clay tobacco pipes, including that of William Shakespeare, which indicate the smoking of Cannabis in Shakespeare's time.

McCaul was an extraordinary note-taker and filer of documents, and left a remarkably complete archive of the documents generated through her many projects. This includes reports, draft reports, presentations, meeting minutes, and correspondence. In many instances the documents are accompanied by her thorough personal notes. Altogether, this provides an unparalleled insight into the planning and implementation of Rea Vaya, and the many smaller projects she worked on including early bus reform projects for the City of Johannesburg and the Gauteng Provincial Government, reforms to national transport legislation, development of national BRT policy, other planned BRTs including those in Tshwane, Nelson Mandela Bay, and Ekurhuleni, and almost every pre-Rea Vaya transport policy of the City of Johannesburg. There is no more than a handful of people who were involved in so many aspects of Johannesburg’s post-apartheid transport system, and likely none who documented their work as thoroughly. This collection will be invaluable to scholars of Johannesburg, local government, bureaucracy, BRT, and urban transport policy.
