Zonnebloem Papers Zonnebloem College The Zonnebloem Papers were deposited with the University of Cape Town Libraries in 1980, through Dr Janet Hodgson, and number 3 360 items. Correspondence in the collection dates back to the establishment of the 'Kaffir College' in 1858, and the removal thereof to Zonnebloem Estate in 1860. The general correspondence, which includes the correspondence of successive wardens and principals, covers many facets of the running of the college. The Archbishop's correspondence, for the years 1935 to 1948, shows how closely the church is linked with the college. There is much correspondence about Zonnebloem Estate which deals with the maintenance of grounds, buildings, and various leases by the college of the brickfield and quarry. In this section, too, is the association between Z.C. and the Eoan Group. The minutes of Advisory Council meetings from 1919 to 1961 are in the Collection. The material relating to the College finances consists of balance sheets for the years 1860 to 1863 and 1931 to 1951, an account book covering the years 1861 to 1885, and various invoices and accounts. There is an admission register (1876‑1900), a roll of students (1892‑1949) and log books for 1931 to 1948. Papers include such items as title deeds for land granted to Emma and Gonye Sandili, examination lists, medical reports, syllabuses, etc. There are reports of inspection, both by the Church authorities and by the Department of Public Education. Also included are magazines, handbooks, prospectuses, photographs, and newspaper cuttings. 1858-1950 22 archival boxes https://atom.lib.uct.ac.za/zonnebloem-papers BC636 eng https://atom.lib.uct.ac.za/university-of-cape-town-libraries-special-collections University of Cape Town Libraries: Special Collections (Manuscripts and Archives) No restrictions apply
