Repository: Archives and Special Collections, UNISA LibraryExtent: One folder relates to the Black Sash
City: Pretoria
Dated: 1969-1977. Dates of Black Sash materials are 1956, 1959, 1963
Scope:Part of the United Party Archives. In terms of an agreement with the United Party in 1969, Unisa's Library became the official custodian and processor of these Archives. The collection has grown considerably since the dissolution of the Party in 1977.
The Archives contain interesting documents with useful information on all aspects of South African history, politics and society over several decades.
Documents of the United Party's predecessors, such as Het Volk, the Afrikaner Bond, South African Party (SAP) and its successor, the New Republic Party, form part of the collection.
The United Party Archives are at the disposal of researchers and are of particular value in that they are the official documents of a South African political party which ruled for 38 years and which was the official opposition for 39 years. In addition to official party documents, there are information files compiled by the Party on a variety of issues and on persons who played a role in South African politics and society. These files contain valuable pamphlets and newspaper cuttings from the major newspapers in the country and are fairly comprehensive. The collection has some foreign pamphlets on party organisation.
Contains one Black Sash section: correspondence, circulars, newscutting and newsletter.
