.A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON INDIANS IN SOUTH AFRICA : A GUIDE TO MATERIALS AT THE DOCUMENTATION CENTRE . A compiled by K CHETTY Documentation Centre Series, no 1 1990 University of Durban- Westville ISBN: 0-947445-02-1 INT ROD UCT 10M The FXblicatlon of this guide arises from a strong need to make known the nature and extent of the PUBLISHED AND UNPUBLISHED materials at the Docunentatlon Centre of the University of Durban-~estville on the subject 'The Indian In South Africa'. The Centre's materials Include books, manuscripts, theses, audio-visusl material, newspapers, serials and general archive material. This first bibliography In the Docunentation Centre Series concentrates on the variety of materials available UNDER EACH CLASSIFICATION end sorted by BRM (Blbl iographlc Record Nunber) - see Section A. Only entries of type "Manuscript" have been Isolated from the coq:xJterlsed records and this aCCOU'lts for the "missing" flUR)ers In the sequence of BRN's listed. The BRN Is a unique identifier for the record and this flUR)er Is most suited to serve as a LINK to sections (B-F). This link Is established by quoting only the BRN In these sections (B-F) so that this flUR)er can be used to POINT TO the FUll ENTRY In Section A. The ' linking' technique ~loyed has enabled the Inclusion of many indexes (Section B-G), which serve as cross references to the Primary Record Description (Section A), consisting of a title,. remarks, dates, sUllll8ry, classification nurber and the BRN. The Indexes included are as follows INDEX SECTION MAIN INDEX A TITLE INDEX B AUTHOR/SUBJECT/CORPORATE BODY INDEX C ClASSSIFIED INDEX D PHOTOGRAPHS INDEX E TITLES IN SUMMARY INDEX F CLASSIFICATION SCHEDULE G To assist the researcher, further clarification Is given at the beglnlng of each sect Ion For further Information please contact Ie CHETTY c/o Docunentatlon Centre, University of Durban-~estville, Private Bag X54001 Durban 4000 FOR E W 0 R 0 The Documentation Centre of the University of Durban-Westville is a unique archive and museum concerned with the history, culture and development of South Africans of Indian origin. Established in January 1979, the Centre's main objectives are : to preserve the past, record the present, classify material, provide information and assist researchers. In the space of ten years the Centre has increased its holdings to about 170 000 items. As a result of rigid government policies, the average South African has very little knowledge of the history of the Indian South African. During the past fifteen years, research on the Indian South African has mushroomed out of all proportions. I believe that students and staff of the University of Durban-Westville have contributed the lion's share of this research. Fortunately too, researchers on a national as well as international level, have during the decade of the 1980's become increasingly interested in the fascinating history of the once relatively unknown Indian South African whose influence has permeated all fields of local activity such as agriculture, commerce, economics, industry and education. Although a minority group, Indians were the first to challenge the rigid discriminatory system to which they were initially sUbjected and have succeeded beyond all expectations in becoming a highly successful, powerful creative force in modern South African society. Just where will the researcher find all this information? While the University's Documentation Centre cannot provide every answer on questions relating to the Indian South African, it can certainly assist the researcher to solve some of his problems. In this respect the Centre's Librarian, Mr Chetty, has pioneered an extremely useful Bibliography which should prove invaluable to the researcher. This, the first of a projected series which will be issued by the Documentation Centre, will guide the researcher as to the extent of the Centre's holdings. Mr Chetty's use of modern computerised data-processing methods has certainly enhanced his presentation, which although by its very nature, remains a scientific presentation of facts, is one which is highly recommended to the researcher and librarian searching for suitable material on the Indian South African.
