FHYA Hyperlinked Archival Research Tool
Scope and Content
[Source - Debra Pryor for FHYA, 2019: File contains a Hyperlinked Archival Research Tool pertaining to a single interlocutor, and a placeholder for the full FHYA Hyperlinked Archival Research Tool. In 2018 the FHYA team made a digital copy of John Wright’s set of hand-annotated photocopies of the notes of James Stuart’s conversations and linked them to the published text across all six volumes of 'James Stuart Archive of Recorded Oral Evidence Relating to the History of the Zulu and Neighbouring Peoples'. The Killie Campbell Africana Library (KCAL), which holds the original handwritten notes, has given permission for the research tool pertinent to only one interlocutor, Socwatsha kaPhaphu, to be made available online.]

[Source - Kathrine Garrun for FHYA, 2018: At each point in the electronic published versions of 'James Stuart Archive of Recorded Oral Evidence Relating to the History of the Zulu and Neighbouring Peoples', vol 1-6, where the editors have cross-referenced to the original handwritten text, the tool enables the user to switch across to the same point in the photocopy of the handwritten text. In addition, the tool offers a variety of further connections to relevant reference materials. The tool demonstrates the usefulness of linking the published version and the handwritten originals on-line and draws attention to the importance of the handwritten originals. Currently the FHYA only has permission from KCAL to offer the tool online in relation to the text of a single interlocuter.]
