Scope and content

The project was designed to complement the existing labour collection housed at Historical Papers and to ensure that South African labour/human rights documentation which is under threat is preserved and made easily accessible. The Project recognised the dynamic potential of oral history and testimony in providing a meaningful context through which the labour movement in South Africa can be documented in its full complexity, and communicated in ways that illuminate the specific historical, political and cultural contexts in which it occurs.
