The museum holds over 750,000 items, including books, manuscripts, magazines, newspapers, sheet music, posters, and programs related to Afrikaans literature.
The institution opened in 1973 in the Old Free State Government Building, which underwent restoration in 1909 following a devastating fire in 1908.
