The aim has been to build up a strong subject collection where format and medium are secondary to the subject needs of the researcher in Southern African history and a wide range of cognate fields. Collections include manuscripts and other documents, Cape and other Government publications, rare and modern books, periodicals and newspapers, maps, pictorial materials, microforms, video and audio recordings, and digital records.
The manuscript and archival collections include personal documents such as diaries, autobiographies, family histories and farmers' diaries as well as institutional collections of churches, local political and non-governmental organisations, business and professional bodies, service clubs and education institutions.
The Library's archival holdings are particularly strong in the fields of Southern African history, including Xhosa history, mission and church history, the history of education and mining, commercial and agricultural history, and it has a strong collection of material on Lesotho. Since the initial deposit of Sir George Cory's collections there has been a particular focus on the history of the Eastern Cape, and on Grahamstown itself.
The Black Sash materials includes publications, videos, pamphlets, posters and other material related to the Black Sash. The records directly related to the Black Sash are under their regional provenance in this database (Border Region, Cape Eastern Region, Albany Region).
