Eastern Province Reports and Correspondence [1953-1963]

Digital images of records created and received by the ANC administration in the Eastern Province.

The file primarily consists of correspondence between the Cental, Provincial and Branch level organisation, and correspondence with third parties, including Provincial Commissioners, Native Authorities and the public. The correspondence concerns.

  • ANC administration and organisation
  • Tours and visits
  • Party finances
  • Party national and provincial conferences and rallies

The file also contains.

  • Minutes of ANC provincial and branch meetings, of the Eastern Province Co-operative Marketing Association, and of the North Choma council
  • Reports (tour reports, province and branch reports)
  • Financial returns and reports
  • Membership lists and lists of local office holders
  • Drafts of the Constitution of the ANC
  • Written evidence submitted to the Monckton Commission by the Ngoni Native Authority

It appears as though some of the material in this file may once has been kept within a different file system; references ANC2/24 and ANC4/2 appear on some of the records.

A small number of documents within this file are written in the indigenous languages of the province.
