The Amazwi South African Museum of Literature maintains collections of manuscripts, rare books, and literary artifacts from South African authors across multiple languages.

Founded in 1972 as the National English Literary Museum, the institution received its current name in 2019 to encompass literature from all South African cultures.

The museum organizes exhibitions, educational programs, and public lectures to promote understanding of South African literature through different linguistic perspectives.

Researchers and students can access the resource center's extensive collection of literary works, criticism materials, and historical documents about South African literature.
