University of the Witwatersrand

This site includes the two major research archives at the University, namely the Historical Papers Research Archive (HPRA), and the South African History Archive (SAHA). In addition it incorporates our partner institution, the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Museum & Learning Centre, and the projects AFRAPIX and MEDU. This multi-institutional setup allows for searching across these institution's online finding aids and searchable digital items.
