Early KZN Materials collected by Alfred Cort Haddon and associated items

Scope and Content

[Source - Chloe Rushovich for FHYA, 2020: A collection of materials gathered by Alfred Cort Haddon during the trip he took with the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) to South Africa in 1905. During this trip, Haddon collected ethnographic material, as well as created and accumulated a number of textual materials. Both the ethnographic and textual material were placed at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA) at the University of Cambridge. The ethnographic material remains in the MAA, while the textual material was deposited into the Cambridge University Library in late 1968. The Haddon Papers, including this material, are housed in the Department Manuscripts and University Archives at the Special Collections at the Cambridge University Library. There are also 4 textual volumes, that sit in the RGO 15 section of the archives, which houses all material from the Royal Observatory at the Cape of Good Hope. This collection contains a complete set of papers from the Cape Observatory up to 1923, with a large gap in information between 1923 and 1969. These papers were accumulated or created by the staff of the Observatory during its working life until their subsequent transfer to the Royal Greenwich Observatory Archives in 1978. The whole of the Royal Greenwich Observatory Archives, excluding the glass plate photographs and computer readable records, were transferred to the Cambridge University Library in 1990.]
