The
Collection consists of the literary papers of Sheila Dederick, rough drafts,
manuscripts, typescripts of her writings.
These covered a wide field; novels, short stories, plays, radio scripts,

SABC in connection with the broadcasting of some short stories, and with the
serialisation of Tickey and its sequel, Julie for Short.
The
Collection consists of approximately 800 items.
