Wits Student 1982-1989
Introduction
This is part of a broader project to digitise some archival material
from the Wits 1980s experience, centred round the work of NUSAS and
its supporting organsisation.
Unfortunately, Wits Student published in a non-standard size, which
makes digitising on my equipment difficult. The tops and bottoms of
many pages are cut off. Apologies. More Wits Students and
other publications will be put here over time.
