Description
-
This collection comprises materials produced by and relating to the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), a South African trade union representing workers primarily in the mining, energy, and related industrial sectors. The materials functioned as instruments of communication, organisation, and record-keeping and include publications, organisational documents, reports, and related ephemera documenting union activities.
The collection records aspects of trade union organisation and labour relations through workplace and regional reports, policy statements, educational material, and commentary on social and political developments affecting mineworkers and their communities. The materials document organised labour activity in South Africa during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and constitute primary source material for research into labour history, mining history, industrial relations, and worker organisation.
