The library consisted of books, pamphlets, periodicals and manuscripts. This Guide only contains the descriptions of the manuscript material (covering the period between 1835 to the present). The other categories are listed separately. The Anglican manuscripts were initially described in Section 2 of the University Library's Guide to the Archives and Papers which ran through three editions between 1967-1975 and a Cumulative Supplement 1975-1979. With the growth of the church’s collection of manuscripts, it became more manageable to publish a separate guide to it. This edition of the Guide to the Archives of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa lists all Anglican Church collections described in previous guides, together with all accessions between 2000 and 2009. Arrangement of the entries is by accession order to facilitate future updatings of the Guide. The missing numbers in the numerical sequence relate to general (not Anglican Church) collections which are described in the Guide to the Archives and Papers, 12th edition, 2010.

Anglican Churches 167 2.6 ANGLICAN CHURCHES Anglicanism may be said to have arrived in South Africa with the first British Governor and garrison in 1795. The first clergymen were chaplains whose work was confined to the men and officers of the garrison and to British civil officials. The first Bishop of Cape Town, Robert Gray, was consecrated in 1847. Two other Bishoprics, Grahamstown and Natal, were created in 1853. The first Bishop of Natal, J.W. Colenso, arrived in 1854. His personality, theology, biblical criticism, missionary policy, and his siding with the Zulus against the Colonial authorities, all contributed to the crisis whose reverberations are felt to this day in South Africa, and indeed in the world-wide Anglican communion.
