In terms of their legislation they would keep such records with them and they even have an archives for those records that they do not need on a day to day basis anymore. The National Archives Repository has no access to or control over this archives. The kind of records that they would keep would include Birth-, Marriage- and Death Registers, Identity documents, passports, information about persons home addresses, etc.<ref>"Genealogical Research', National Archives and Records Service of South Africa, http://www.nationalarchives.gov.za/node/24, accessed 11 July 2022.</ref> |
