The History workshop at the University of the Witwatersrand, is a group of loosely constituted interdisciplinary academics and associated researchers, involved in a range of heritage and public history projects. Since its inception in 1977 it has been promoting research into the lives, experiences and social worlds of people and communities in South Africa, to address the erasures of colonialism and apartheid.

The photographs were collected by Luli Callinicos for the History Workshop, in the Department of History at Wits University. They were donated to Historical Papers by Prof. P Bonner in 1999. A few of the photos are duplicates of those in the Pearson collection of early Johannesburg, but have been retained in the History Workshop collection as it provides a very extensive portrayal of the social history of South Africa over a long period.
