Krüger, D. W : Die weg na die see [Archives Year Book for South African History, Volume I, Part I]

(Cape Town: Archives Department, Union of South Africa, 1938)

WITH, 'Het invoeren van de slavernij aan de Kaap', by W. Blommaert, AND 'The Destruction of Records in South Africa', by P. J. Venter. Archives Year Book for South African History, Volume I, Part I. 278 x 180 mm; original printed wrappers; pp. (x) + 239. Wrappers partially sunned, corners curled, with penned code and label remnant to backstrip; archival tape reinforcing to head and tail of spine; edges foxed, occasional foxing elsewhere. Good. The Blommaert piece on slavery at the Cape fills the first thirty or so pages, and is in Dutch. Krüger's important work covers the land-locked Boers' obsession with access to the east coast until 1877, and has particular reference to their relations with the Portuguese. It is in Afrikaans, and takes up two hundred pages. The short essay at the conclusion is concerned with the archivist's perennial worry about the preservation of documents.
