| You can get permission to reproduce, no charge. Or you can buy hi res digital prints. I have just been scanning through the two 1879 scrap books, fascinating but time consuming better to use the search facility. Interesting comparing the old photos to the newer ones. Fugitives drift from Coghils grave shows no bush at all, now its a virtual forest. Have fun |

| hi springbok9. Yes , the amount of vegetation that has grown in some parts of zululand is amazing , and its only been in the last 50 yrs or so. IAN KNIGHT"S book " THE ZULU WAR THEN AND KNOW " shows the difference between the places in photos and drawings from the time of the war till he takes his photos in the same spots , some 120 yrs later !!. One of my most favourite books on the zulu war. And full of information . cheers 90th. |

| The Campbell museum is in Dundee. It has one of the largest, and best collections of documents photos etc of the history of Kwazulu. That includes the 1879 era. Not to downgrade the Royal Welsh Museum at all but any serious student needs to look through the Killie Campbell.
Enjoy |

| The Killie Campbell museum is in Durban on the corner of Marriot (Gladys Mazibuko) and Essenwood (Steven Dlamini_ Roads. It houses the famous collection of Africana that Killie Campbell the daughter of Sam Campbell and Aunt of Roy Campbell collected. It belongs to the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The collection does not just focus on the AZW but on Natal and Durban in general. It is well worth a visit. |

| Sorry about the mix up in locations I was thinking about the Talana Museum. OH2 I was also under the impression you were in the Eastern Cape. With regard to the Campbell photos, there are some early Fugitive Drift photos and sketches that go a long way towards pointing at the REAL coffin rock. Interesting stuff.
