In 2012 a meeting was held with [[Marisa Keuris]] and members of her archival project called [[SA Drama- en teaterbewaring]]  (&amp;quot;SA Drama and Theatre Conservation&amp;quot;), which aims at creating a digital archive of materials on South African theatre, in association with similar international archives, such as . This association means that the [[ESAT]] project and the [[SADET]] project become partners, sharing information and each supporting and supplementing the other. Discussions on this matters continued into 2013. In 2013 another expansion took place, when film specialist [[Freddy Ogterop]] approached the project team to suggest that we expand the scope of [[ESAT]] to include [[South African Film]]. This discussion led to the idea that perhaps [[Radio Drama]] and [[Television drama|TV Drama]] may also be added to the scope of [[ESAT]]. Ogterop declared himself willing to join the research team and be the editor for the film section. This was immediately implemented, and the title of the project provisionally changed, even though the implications of these ideas are still being investigated.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class='diff-marker'&gt;+&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #222; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;In 2012-2013&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;, besides the continued uploading of new material and editing of the existing material, &lt;/ins&gt;the scope of the ESAT Project was considerably enlarged by two crucial &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;meetings: &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

In 2012 a meeting was held with [[Marisa Keuris]] and members of her archival project called [[SA Drama- en teaterbewaring]]  (&amp;quot;SA Drama and Theatre Conservation&amp;quot;), which aims at creating a digital archive of materials on South African theatre, in association with similar international archives, such as . This association means that the [[ESAT]] project and the [[SADET]] project become partners, sharing information and each supporting and supplementing the other. Discussions on this matters continued into 2013. In 2013 another expansion took place, when film specialist [[Freddy Ogterop]] approached the project team to suggest that we expand the scope of [[ESAT]] to include [[South African Film]]. This discussion led to the idea that perhaps [[Radio Drama]] and [[Television drama|TV Drama]] may also be added to the scope of [[ESAT]]. Ogterop declared himself willing to join the research team and be the editor for the film section.

In 2012 a meeting was held with [[Marisa Keuris]] and members of her archival project called [[SA Drama- en teaterbewaring]]  (&amp;quot;SA Drama and Theatre Conservation&amp;quot;), which aims at creating a digital archive of materials on South African theatre, in association with similar international archives, such as . This association means that the [[ESAT]] project and the [[SADET]] project become partners, sharing information and each supporting and supplementing the other. Discussions on this matters continued into 2013. In 2013 another expansion took place, when film specialist [[Freddy Ogterop]] approached the project team to suggest that we expand the scope of [[ESAT]] to include [[South African Film]]. This discussion led to the idea that perhaps [[Radio Drama]] and [[Television drama|TV Drama]] may also be added to the scope of [[ESAT]]. Ogterop declared himself willing to join the research team and be the editor for the film section.

(A few more submitted entries during 1997-8, bringing us to 11 contributors by 1999.) It became clear that the project was very close to getting bogged down. At a subsequent meeting,  the Committee decided that the rest of the book would be written by [[Temple Hauptfleisch]], assisted by [[Yvette Hutchison]] and some of the post-graduate students in the Department of Drama , while the two sub-editors – [[Edwin Hees]] and [[Arnold Blumer]] – would help with the final editing process.  The current database is the result of all the aforementioned processes&lt;/del&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td colspan=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

This association means that the [[ESAT]] project and the [[SADET]] project become partners, sharing information and each supporting and supplementing the other. Discussions on this matters continued into 2013. In 2013 another expansion took place, when film specialist [[Freddy Ogterop]] approached the project team to suggest that we expand the scope of [[ESAT]] to include [[South African Film]]. This discussion led to the idea that perhaps [[Radio Drama]] and [[Television drama|TV Drama]] may also be added to the scope of [[ESAT]]. Ogterop declared himself willing to join the research team and be the editor for the film section.

In 2012 a meeting was held with [[Marisa Keuris]] and members of her archival project on provisionally called [[SA Drama- en teaterbewaring]]  (&amp;quot;SA Drama and Theatre Conservation&amp;quot;), which aims at creating a digital archive of materials on South African theatre, in association with similar international archives. This association means that the [[ESAT]] project and the [[SADET]] project become partners, sharing information and each supporting and supplementing the other. Discussions on this matters continued into 2013. In 2013 another expansion took place, when film specialist [[Freddy Ogterop]] approached the project team to suggest that we expand the scope of [[ESAT]] to include [[South African Film]]. This discussion led to the idea that perhaps [[Radio Drama]] and [[Television drama|TV Drama]] may also be added to the scope of [[ESAT]]. Ogterop declared himself willing to join the research team and be the editor for the film section. This was immediately implemented, and the title of the project provisionally changed, even though the implications of these ideas are still being investigated.   &lt;/del&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td colspan=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

In 2012 &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;meeting was held with &lt;/ins&gt;[[&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Marisa Keuris&lt;/ins&gt;]] &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;and members of her archival project on provisionally &lt;/ins&gt;called [[&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;SA Drama- en teaterbewaring&lt;/ins&gt;]]  &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;(&amp;quot;SA Drama and Theatre Conservation&amp;quot;)&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;which aims at creating &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;digital archive of materials on South African theatre, in association with similar international archives. This association &lt;/ins&gt;means that &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;the [[ESAT]] project &lt;/ins&gt;and the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;[[SADET]] project become partners, sharing information &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;each supporting &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;supplementing the &lt;/ins&gt;other&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;. Discussions on this matters continued into 2013&lt;/ins&gt;. In &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;2013 another expansion took place, when film specialist [[Freddy Ogterop]] approached the project team to suggest that we expand &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;scope of [[ESAT]] &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;include &lt;/ins&gt;[[South African &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Film]]. This discussion led to the idea that perhaps [[Radio Drama&lt;/ins&gt;]] and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;[[Television drama|TV Drama]] may also be added to the scope of [[ESAT]]. Ogterop declared himself willing &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;join the &lt;/ins&gt;research &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;team &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;be &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;editor for &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;film section. This was immediately implemented&lt;/ins&gt;, and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;the title of &lt;/ins&gt;the project &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;provisionally changed&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;even though &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;implications &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;these ideas are still being investigated&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;  &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
