Given SALDRU’s almost 40-year history, the unit has built up an extensive body of research. The majority of this research, including working papers, links to journal articles, conference proceedings and briefs, is available in the openSALDRU Publications Repository. However, a number of older pieces of writing are available here.

Given the size of the research output generated within SALDRU, the older papers have been digitised and archived in UCT’s Digital Library.
