Zama Gumede, a postgraduate student undertook a practical on archival administration at the APC in July 2014 as part of her studies. Zama is a part-time student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and is registered for a Postgraduate Diploma in Records and Archives Management (PDRAM). Zama is employed as an Archivist at the Pietermaritzburg Archives Repository (PAR). Her practical was based on Alan Paton and she said that research on Paton was significant to her as the Ixopo High school she attended had the library named after Alan Paton. Zama consulted the Alan Paton collection (PC 1), and found the biography by Peter Alexander on Alan Paton very interesting.
