Geschiedenis van het archief
The 1st and 2nd editions of the Guide were produced in 1967 and 1970 respectively by the late Isaac Isaacson; the 3rd edition in 1975, the 4th edition in 1983, the 5th edition in 1986 and the 6th edition in 1991 were compiled by Anna M. Cunningham; the 7th edition by Michele Pickover in 1993 and the 8th to 11th editions by Carol Archibald and Michele Pickover. Further additions have been made by Gabriele Mohale from the 12th edition onwards.
The first three editions of the Guide were arranged alphabetically. From the 4th edition onwards arrangement of the Guide has been by accession order. The first three editions of the Guide also included the description of the archives of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa. These archives are now described in a separate publication which accounts for the missing numbers in the Guide. Access to the Guide from the 11th edition is facilitated by a comprehensive index of personal names and subject fields mentioned in the Guide.
