http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702166529

The papers consist of correspondence, research notes, bibliographies and photographs, principally relating to Edward Tabler's interest in the early history of South Africa and Rhodesia. Over half the letters to Tabler relate to his research and his correspondents include not only other scholars, but also the descendants of early explorers and settlers. These letters contain considerable substantive information, several illustrated with hand-drawn maps of southern Africa. Others discuss the political changes in Rhodesia (ca. 1950-1970) from the point of view of the white minority. His research material includes typed transcriptions of nineteenth-century South African diaries and manuscripts, his own notebooks and photographs, a bibliography of his writings, and biographical information.
