Histoire archivistique
These photographs were found abandoned in a cupboard in an empty room in the Richard Ward Building at the University of the Witwatersrand, and were rescued by a member of staff of the School of Social Sciences. Prof Bozzoli thought that they might have belonged to the IASR and suggested giving them to Historical Papers.
