In 2009, SAHA conducted an audit of video and film material dealing with the South African Liberation Struggle, with funding from the Atlantic Philanthropies and professional support from the Visual History Archive

In 2010, a follow-up audit was conducted, and the report has been updated. This is currently available as a free download from our website for registered users.

The aim of this audit was to increase awareness of, and access to, audiovisual material relating to the liberation struggle in South Africa through identifying and listing archives, stock footage libraries and other repositories, both nationally and internationally, which currently house such materials. A brief overview of the holdings of each repository is included, along with contact details and links to related finding aids, where available.

This report should be seen as a work-in-progress, to which additional information can be added and for which the existing information can be refined. SAHA remains committed to obtaining an exhaustive audit of audiovisual heritage related to the South African liberation struggle. This will be released each year on World Day of Audiovisual Heritage.
