Use of the facility for research by members of the public: R10 for the morning plus R10 for each transcript of a Certificate. (Because a number of the registers are now very frail, some dating back to 1825, we do not make photocopies but do certify each transcript.

Research by the Archivist: Where the EXACT date and parish is known R20 including one transcript. Extra transcripts at R10 each.

General search by the Archivist: For every hour, or part thereof, that a search is conducted, including one transcript R45. Extra transcripts at R10 each. As you probably know research is very time consuming and we usually estimate a minimum of two hours.

General conditions: A minimum deposit of R45 equal to one hour’s research must be made before any research can be undertaken. The staff are all volunteers and these funds go towards the maintenance of the facility. The Archive is part of the Anglican Diocese of Port Elizabeth and we have most registers (not all) that fall within their jurisdiction, i.e. Cradock, Colesberg, Somerset East, Uitenhage, Alexandria, Humansdorp and immediate surrounds, and of course, the Anglican Parishes in Port Elizabeth, about 70 in all.

Mr Warren Morris is in charge and is assisted by Rosemary McGeoghegan and Alice Mitchley.
