Is there a Transvaal equivalent of the Africana Library, Kimberley or the Killie Campbell Library, Durban? I'd like to find out more about someone who was involved in gold and diamond mining/dealing in the 1880s to late1890s. I have checked NAAIRS, but feel there must still be a lot more info available, if only I knew where to ask! Thanks Eileen

50 something years ago when I went to school in Johannesburg there was an Afrikaaner section on the top floor of the library in the City Centre. I wonder if it is still there.
