Our online shop is available for purchasing downloadable items and membership.
In fact our stock has been re-organised so that most (but not all) items can now be purchased as downloadables, including the Cemetery DVD, but it will, unfortunately, not be possible to post any CDs, DVDs or books during the current Corona-virus lock-down.
The Archives are closed and our photographers in lock-down so document photograph orders are also suspended.
Congratulations to Riana le Roux and her team of volunteers for this outstanding achievement. It is the product of many years of hard work, patience and dedication.
A big thank you to all of you going out to the cemeteries to take the photos, to those of you doing all the uploads onto the website, indexing the photos and cemeteries, maintaining our website. The project is extremely valuable to us and we appreciate your contributions.
The project is growing so fast that we are looking forward to the next milestone.
Six more months of extracts from the Cape Government Gazette have been added to the eGGSA Newspaper Extracts, for the period June to December 1830.
These have been transcribed by Brenda Gassner, to whom our grateful thanks.
These baptisms have been transcribed by Corney Keller from photographs of Cape Archives VC 645, which is a set of photocopies of the original register made in the 1980s for the Sciences Research Council (HSRC). Copies were donated to the South African Archives, one copy going to the Cape Town repository and another to the Pretoria Repository (where it is part of the FC series). The original register is now housed in the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerkargief, Noordwal-Wes, Stellenbosch, as G3 3/2. They have been added to the eGGSA BDM database.
Our grateful thanks to Corney Keller for the transcriptions and the NGKerkargief for preserving and maintaining these records.
