Review by Stephen Coan
The Witness, 03 Nov 2014
Vol. 6 of Stuart Archives released
The archive left by former Natal civil servant James Stuart has proved a gold mine for historians and, more recently, lawyers.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Stuart collected oral evidence from around 200 people. The resulting archive has been described as “one of the richest sources available” on the language, “literature and the history of the African peoples of Natal, Zululand and Swaziland”.
Now the sixth volume of The James Stuart Archive, edited by Colin Webb and John Wright, has been published by the University of KwaZulu-Natal Press. Though not the final volume, it brings to an end the evidence published in alphabetical name order.

Description:
James Stuart was an official in the Natal colonial civil service in the 1890s and early years of the twentieth century. In meticulously recorded conversations with some 200 interlocutors, the great majority of them Africans, he assembled a vast and unique collection of notes on the history and customs of the Zulu and other peoples of what is now the KwaZulu-Natal region. This sixth volume presents a further twenty-six sets of testimonies drawn from material in the James Stuart Collection of the Killie Campbell Africana Library in Durban.
