The University of the Witwatersrand’s Historical Papes Research Archives is the custodian of the Achmat Dangor Papers. The collection comprises 13 boxes including documents, photographs, awards, 10 CDs and 14 floppy disks. Included are manuscripts, correspondence, awards, journals, diaries, notebooks, newspaper clippings, photographs and artwork, as well as working papers from various institutions, and oral history interviews. The collection was sorted by Audrey Elster, and a listing created by HPRA. This order in which the collection was received was largely retained. Over the course of four months the NMF digitised the collection as part of the ADLP.

The digitised Achmat Dangor Papers, collection number AL3642, can be accessed via Wits University Research Archive’s AtoM portal click here to view ( http://historicalpapers-atom.wits.ac.za/a3462 ) to explore the hard copy version visit Historical Papers Research Archives in the William Cullen Library at the University of the Witwatersrand.
