CAPE PROVINCIAL OFFICE: Councils, constituencies & information files

Introduction In terms of an agreement with the United Party in 1969, Unisa Library became the official custodian and processor of the Party’s political archives. The Archives also includes the United Party’s predecessors and its successor the New Republic Party and the records of parties which broke away from the UP e.g. the Progressive Party (later the Progressive Federal Party). The Collection continued to grow even after the dissolution of the UP in 1977 and the final meeting of the trustees of the New Republic Party in 1989.

The scope of the archival records The Cape Provincial Office, councils, constituencies and information files consist of 33,3 linear metres of records (333 boxes) . The Cape Provincial Office is part of the larger - approximate 500 linear metes - United Party Archives which is available to national as well as international researchers. The Archives is of particular value in that the records are the official documents of a white South African political party who ruled for 38 years and who were the official opposition for 39 years. Over the years the Archives has been consulted by biographers, historians, politicians, educators, TV and film directors, lawyers, socialists and others. Although many constituencies shifted their political allegiance over time, the loyalty of party members of the Hopetown Rooidam-Kraankuil Branch (1889 to 1974) remains unique. This branch used the same minutes book and seamlessly went from the Afrikaner Bond to the SAP and to the United Party. In addition to official party documents, the United Party itself also collected biographical information and materials on other political parties. The Cape Division of Information actively collected information resources on issues and persons who played a role in South African politics and society. These files contain valuable pamphlets and press cuttings from the major newspapers in the country from 1880 to 1990 and are fairly comprehensive. The United Party’s file on Dr DF Malan dates from 1910 until his death in 1959 and it contains many unique records. Other interesting biographical files include information on Brian Bunting, Robert Sobukwe, Albert Luthuli, Helen Suzman, Catherine Taylor, Dr HF Verwoerd, General Jan Smuts and Alan Paton. The UP collected information on subjects such as group areas, mother tongue education, group areas, defiance campaign, Ossewabrandwag, Bantu education, homelands, boycotts and riots in Sharpeville, Langa, World War ll, passive resistance, the Treason Trial, Rivonia, job reservation, university segregation, Sharpeville, pass laws, Witzieshoek and many others.

The files of the Race Classification Board and the Race Classification Appeal Board in the Cape Provincal United Party Archives are particularly poignant: the 1950 Population Registration Act divided families according to perceived race.

The arrangement of the UP Archives From an archival view point, the arrangement and description of the United Party records was problematic. The Archives was created by a few paid party officials, volunteers, individual members - who at times broke away from the UP and created new parties - agents and representatives over many decades. The United Party never had a unified filing system for records – each province, constituency and branch followed its own system. The state of

disorder of party materials, made it obvious that there was never a file plan or any control over the creation of party records. By 1980 it was obvious that a new filing system had to be designed to accommodate past and future donations.

In order to keep track of all donors a database was created of all donors. Records were not placed under the names of individual donors as it would divide the contents e.g. if the records of Pinelands constituency were donated by four donors namely a secretary, the MP, the treasurer and / or chairman of a branch, a researcher working on the Pinelands constituency would need to consult four different donor accessions. In the end, the archives staff decided to follow the provenance principle and created a basic party structure for the Central Head Office, the Division of Information, the Cape, Transvaal, Natal, Free State Provinces and Namibia. This system enabled the archivist to place all Pinelands constituency files in one place. Within this system, the files are arranged alphabetically and chronologically. The United Party Archives is arranged as follows: • Central Head Office • Division of Information and Research (administrative files, files on people and subject files) • Division of Organisation • Provincial Offices of the Cape, Natal, Free State, Transvaal and Namibia. These offices were sub-divided into regional offices, constituencies, branches, subject files and files on people. • Party periodicals and newspapers • Speeches on tape • Posters • Private papers of individual members

To assist with the identification of records, a database of all candidates of all parties who took part in elections and by-elections from 1910 to 1987 in South Africa and Namibia, was created. A perpetual calendar – also known as a forever calendar - was used to find the year in cases where items were only marked with a day and a month.

Thanks to the archival process of arrangement and description, the rich information resources of the United Party have become accessible and useable for past, present and future researchers.
