Los 242 | Slavery in South Africa | A collection of letters and documents, c.1816-1836
This important archive comes from the Offices for the Enregisterment or Protection of Slaves at Cape Town, as well as at Grahamstown, Graaff Reinet, Simons Town, Stellenbosch, Swellendam and Uitenhage, between 1816 and 1838. Slavery was abolished in South Africa - and throughout the British Empire - on 1 January 1834, following the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act.

The archive includes documents registering the ownership of slaves, fines for the late registerement of slaves, documents raising mortgages against slaves, documents relating to the manumission, punishment, crimes and mistreatment of slaves, and documents relating to the abolition of slavery and the compensation of slave owners.
