Gold Fields Collection CORY LIBRARY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH REGISTER OF DOCUMENTS NO. 27 GOLD FIELDS COLLECTION RHODES UNIVERSITY GRAHAMSTOWN 1981 CORY LIBRARY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH REGISTER 0?

Paaphlets......................... 71*. I. Maps .............................. 99. E. Newspapers............................................ 1 1 6 T. Artefacts .................. 117 The documentb described in this Register are the "non-book" materials from the collection presented to Rhodes University for the Cory Library by Gold Fields of South Africa Ltd. It contains manuscripts and documents, books, photographs, newspapers, pamphlets, maps and memorabilia. These materials were assembled from 191*1*- onwards by the firm as a Rhodes Memorial Library and Museum. This Library was established to cover the history and traditions of the Company and its subsidiaries, successors to the original Rhodes, Rudd and Caldecott Syndicate, with special reference to Cecil John Rhodes. The establishment took place as the Company was nearing its 60th Anniversary and Mr F.C.M. Bawden, who was in 'charge from the early days until his death in 1 9 6 8 was able to build up the collection both by purchase and by assembling materials in the records of Gold Fields and its subsidiaries. In 1976 Gold Fields decided that the Collection should be made available to researchers and chose Rhodes University as the most appropriate institution through which to do this. At the time of the deposit in the Cory Library the University Librarian, Dr. F.G. van der Riot, commented, "I think that this is about the biggest gift that has come to the Cory Library since it was first established with the Cory Collection." The sise of the deposit was a major factor in the decision to retain the usual policy for these Registers and to list only the "non-book" Items here. The book collection numbers just ever 2 0 0 0 titles and has been fully catalogued in the Library's card catalogues. Details can be obtained from the Librarians. The subject fields covered are those of the original Rhodes Library in the main. This Register represents.the first detailed catalogue of the "non-book" sections of the Rhodes Library and it is, perhaps, slightly sad that it goes out under another name but it was felt that for a collection in the Rhodes University Library to be called the Rhodes Library night result in confusion and so the Gold Fields Collection was born. All materials in the Collection are available to researchers and the Cory Librarians will be happy to assist visiting researchers or to supply further information on items here listed. Photostat or microfiche copies of material can be supplied under the Cory Library's normal conditions. J.M.

In that tiae certain proper naaes (e.g. "Rhodesia", "Lourenqo Marques") have been changed.

In 1914 he came to South, Africa as a Government veterinary Officer under the German Government, but was dismissed from his post when the country was captured by the South African Forces in 1915. From 1915 to 1919 he was ~unemployed as a veterinarian, but greatly assisted with the flu epidemic. For his work in this epidemic he was awarded the Red Cross Medal . In 1922 he, Schmid and Sigwart were appointed by the South West Africa administration and it is interesting to note that these three veterinarians were the only former German officials to be so re-employed. After his appointment he was stationed at Gobabis until his health failed. He died from cancer in his home town in Germany on 26/1/1933. MACDONALD, RODERICK (26/12/1874 - Born in Scotland on 26/12/1874 he qualified as a veterinarian at the university of Ontario Vet. College, Canada in 1891.

Grundlingh TITLE: Politics, Principles and Problems of a Profession: Afrikaner Historians and Their Discipline, C. 1920 - C. 1965 POLITICS. PRINCIPLES AND PROBLEMS OF A PROFESSION: AFRIKANER HISTORIANS AND THEIR DISCIPLINE. C.1920 - C.1965 Albert Grundlinqh This paper is an attempt to explore the internal dyna- mics of the Afrikaans historical profession. It focuses on academic historians and the way in which wider political concerns were accommodated and promoted in the profession from about 1920 to approximately 1965. During this period, Afrikaner historians, without compromising the political interests of Afrikanerdom, established a tradition of histo- rical writing in which the notion of "objective-scientific" ' history was elevated to an inviolable principle, and histor- ians also sought to emphasize their work as a professional occupation. To understand the interrelated nature and tra- jectory of this process, one has to look at the context in which it was forged and the influences that were brought to bear. Afrikanerization and university departments of history Professional historical writing was closely linked to the universities, and the universities in turn, particularly in the thirties and forties, played a significant role in promoting the wider nationalist enterprise of ethnic mobili- zation. 1 History was regarded as a crucial discipline; the past was needed to legitimize the present. In an influen- tial text written in 1941 on Afrikaner universities, the im- portance of the past was emphasised in near religious terms: the "calling" and "destination" of the Afrikaner people were pre-determined by their past and the "volk" therefore had a duty to honour and obey the sanctity of that past^.

  • Alfred Beit – Kimberley – 20 November 2017 Alfred Beit – South Africa’S Financial Genius
    Alfred Beit – Kimberley – 20 November 2017 Alfred Beit – South Africa’s financial genius Part 1 Kimberley The Right Man, in the Right Place, at the Right Time! The Man – was Alfred Beit, born in 1853, into a Jewish family in Hamburg. He was arguably the single most effective person in the transformation of Southern Africa from a sleepy dry agricultural backwater, into not one, but several modern industrial countries. But you would probably never know it – he hated publicity and preferred others to shine in the foreground. He did not set out to be a rich or powerful man. He just loved to make things happen in the most effective way to benefit as many people as possible and he relished the work involved. He was popular and attracted business like a magnet. He had an enviable reputation for generosity, integrity and fair play. Nevertheless, when he died at the age of just 53 he was possibly one the wealthiest men in the world. The place was the desert in the middle of South Africa where this boyish, fun- loving, young German arrived at the age of 22 to deal in diamonds. Kimberley is where he joined the influential French Diamond company J Porgès and Co and grew into a hugely successful organiser of and investor in mining companies as well a major diamond merchant – and became a great friend and colleague of Cecil John Rhodes. Figure 1: Alfred Beit at his home in Park Lane with his beloved pet terrier Jackie The Time was 1875 – nearly a decade after diamonds had been discovered in such abundance in what became Kimberley.

American Mining Engineers and the Labor Structure in the South African Gold Mines M. Z. Nkosi "Johannesburg, in the Transvaal is like an American city, and is the center of the mining industry." The Engineering and Mining Journal December 3, 1887 "... many of the leading men in Johannesburg are Americans; in- deed, the mining industry is chiefly under the guidance of American mining engineers." The National Geographic Magazine November, 1896 "The place [Witwatersrand] has an attraction for the American. It has size in its favour; its plant is designed on a large scale — on an American scale." The South African Mining Journal April, 1907 American Mining Capital and the Witwatersrand The first quote is from a brief news piece written by Richard P. Rothwell and Rossiter W. Raymond, two of America's distinguished mining engineer- ing writers who were co-editors of The Engineering and Mining Journal (E&MJ) which was based in New York City.
