Histoire administrative
Rand Mines Ltd. only established the Rand Mines Archives in June 1963 together with its parent companies, H. Eckstein & Co. and the Central Mining and Investment Corporation Ltd. The bulk of those company records dates back to 1887. Rand Mines Ltd. had preserved its own records since its founding in Johannesburg in 1893. The records became part of Barlow Rand Limited Group Archives, after the amalgamation of Rand Mines Limited and Thos. Barlow & Sons in 1971, becoming Barlow World in 2000.
