The Rivonia Trial Tribunal Play - The Research and Researchers

I'm slowly getting through much of the documents and audio files from the trial and I think at this time, I really want to thank The Department of Arts and Culture National Archives and Records Service of South Africa [NARSSA], the National Audiovisual Institute [INA]  in Paris and a huge thank you to Sarah Brucchausen whom I've yet to meet but have been thoroughly impressed and motivated by her excellent work in archiving the dictabelts of the trial which had been  a wonderful boost to the project.  With this last huge bit of documentation, I feel as though I am really now able to reconstruct on paper the trial.  Still there is much missing, but, for now, there is plenty to be developing.
