Anti-Apartheid Movement - Scottish Committee
United Kingdom
Activities in Scotland started in the 1960s by AAM branches in Glasgow and Edinburgh, leading to the establishment of the Scottish Committee and opening an office in 1989. It was active in boycott campaigns, support to South African anti-apartheid organisations, the End Loans to South Africa campaigns and the call for comprehensive sanctions. It had a women’s subcommittee, youth desk and a trade union subcommittee as well as a Scottish Committee for Local Authority Action against Apartheid. It dissolved in 1994 and continued as the Scottish Committee of Action for Southern Africa (SCTSA).
The Glasgow Caledonian University holds the complete archive of the organisation covering the period 1965-1995, the bulk being from 1975.
The UWC/RIM Mayibuye Archives holds a collection of their publications.
