This collection is drawn from the Johannesburg Office of Justice and Peace. However it also contains material pertaining to national structures such as the SACBC and its various commissions including the Diocesan Commission for Justice and Peace with the Episcopal Vicar at its head.

This Office had painstakingly built up a resource centre which focused on certain topics such as Aids, Human Rights, Negotiations, Elections etc. In certain cases material which is duplicated elsewhere has been removed and reintegrated with other collections. This includes publications produced by The Black Sash, The Human Rights Commission, The Independent Board of Inquiry and Peace Action, all of whose papers are housed in Historical Papers. Journals which have been removed include: Constitutional Talk, RDP News, MPD News - Newsletter of the Institute for Multi-Party Democracy, Africa South, Work in Progress, NRDF Rural Monitor, Prodder Newsletter - Programme for Development Research and certain United Nations publications. All of the above can be found in various library depots situated on Wits Campus.
