Anti-Apartheid Melbourne

Australia

This group was formed in 1977 to support political prisoners in South Africa financially and became a member of CAASA in 1979.  Core members of CAASA formed the African National Congress Support Group in 1983, which changed its name to Anti-Apartheid Melbourne in 1984. It became an organisation that supported the liberation movements directly. The group dissolved in 1985.

The Archives and Special Collections at the University of Melbourne holds a small archive covering the period 1977-1985. It contains minutes of meetings, campaign reports and pamphlets.
