Historia administrativa
The Anglican Church of Southern Africa, previously known as the Church of the Province of Southern Africa, is the province of the Anglican Communion in Southern Africa. Its primate is the Archbishop of Cape Town. The church includes dioceses in present day South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Angola, Lesotho, Swaziland and St. Helena.
An agreement was signed in 1937 between the Church of the Province of South Africa (CPSA) - now known as the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA) - and the University of the Witwatersrand, whereby the church's central record library was places on loan with the University. The library consisted of books, pamphlets, periodicals and manuscripts. The richness of the Anglican Church's manuscript collection is due to the efforts of the provincial archivists appointed by the church to collect material and transfer it to the university. The first, 1937-1957, was Father Osmund Victor, followed by Canon Cecil Thomas Wood from 1958-1979. Mrs AR Kotze then took over from 1979-2000, until Carol Archibald was appointed as Provincial Archivist in 2001.

Sistema de arreglo
The inventory's listing was arranged by subject matter, i.e. starting with the respective alphabetical letter.
Some items, (e.g. Lambeth conference papers), were removed from these papers and added to the collection of the Provincial Executive Officer, AB2668, in order to avoid duplication. Items relating mainly to Archbishop Tutu were retained, as well as a collection of press cuttings referring to Archbishop Tutu and to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of which he was Chairman.
