The Ruth First Papers are the collected notes and writings of Ruth First, South African activist, campaigning journalist and scholar.

Abstract:  The Ruth First Papers are the collected notes and writings of Ruth First, South African activist, campaigning journalist and scholar. The project, launched in May 2012, is creating a free online digital archive of a selection of Ruth First’s writings held at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies. It will consist of at least 5,000 pages, digitized and presented as academically rigorous clusters of material. The website includes two of her books currently out of print as well as photographs and audio interviews. It also will contain secondary material including conference items and short academic essays about First’s life and work. The resource as a whole will represent a digital version of the Ruth First Resource Centre that was called for in the immediate aftermath of her assassination in 1982. The Ruth First Papers project is based at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, in partnership with the University of the Western Cape-Robben Island Mayibuye Archives and the Centro de Estudos Africanos, Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique.
