Case Study: Staffrider Magazine

Staffrider was a South African literary magazine that ran in 37 numbers from 1978 to 1993, published by Raven Press, Johannesburg. The magazine has been digitised and made freely available by Digital Innovation South Africa at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal (see the full collection here)

The ALMEDA project is cataloguing each individual literary contribution to Staffrider. By making individual contributions visible and searchable in our metadata, we hope to give a better representation of the hundreds of excellent poets, short story writers, dramatists and novelists who were contributing to the magazine during these crucial 25 years of apartheid South Africa. The full dataset is available on request.
