South African History Archive, Historical archive in Parktown, Johannesburg, South Africa

The South African History Archive stores documents, photographs, and oral histories reflecting different periods of South African social development at the University of Witwatersrand.

Founded in 1988 during political changes, SAHA began by collecting materials about the anti-apartheid movement and protecting records from organizations facing government restrictions.

The archive maintains 140 collections encompassing materials from social movements, individual donations, and community projects that document South African experiences.

Researchers need to schedule visits by contacting archive staff through email at the Education Library on St Andrews Road in the Wits Education Campus.

The archive developed the PAIA Request Tracker system to help civil society groups obtain information under the Promotion of Access to Information Act.
