Excerpt from Geological Features of the Transvaal: South Africa Until the last few years the Transvaal was a land known to few but as a hunting ground, and as the habitation of a few discontented Boers who had migrated from the British colonies and found on these wide grassy plains a residence more suitable to their extraordinary love of isolation. Rumours of rich gold-fields north of the Vaal river reached the outer world from time to time as travellers and hunters went and came, until first the Lydenburg district, then that of Barberton, and lastly, the Witwatersrand attracted adventurers, resulting latterly in one of the greatest mining "booms" which the world has ever witnessed.

South Africa and the Transvaal War in eight volumes is a historical account of The Second Boer War fought between the British Empire and two independent Boer states, the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, over the Empire's influence in South Africa. Initial Boer attacks were successful, and although British reinforcements later reversed these, the war continued for years with Boer guerrilla warfare, until harsh British counter-measures including a scorched earth policy brought the Boers to terms. The work is divided in eight volumes, first of which covering the period from the First Boer War to the beginning of the Second Boer War. Following six volumes...
Apartheid in South African Libraries
South Africa will be dealing with the legacy of apartheid for generations. Dr. Jacqueline Kalley has had the foresight and vision to document the experiences of black library users during South Africa's years of apartheid, focusing her studies on the second half of the twentieth century, when apartheid reached its zenith. Apartheid in South African Libraries is an in-depth study of the effect of apartheid on public, provincial, and community library services in South Africa. With a high degree of accuracy and objectivity, Dr. Kalley documents the past record and experiences of black libraries. She masterfully integrates the numerous aspects of this complicated subject including historical, legal, and resource concerns. A historical introduction helps provide background and context for the work, and an index, bibliography, and photographs round out the book.
