	The [[National English Literary Museum]] ([[NELM]])[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_English_Literary_Museum] had its roots in a small collection of indigenous manuscripts by [[Guy Butler]] of [[Rhodes University]] in the 1960s. In 1972 the [[Institute for the Study of English in Africa]] ([[ISEA]]), under the leadership of Professors [[Guy Butler]] and [[André de Villiers]], formed the [[Thomas Pringle Collection]] , an initiative which sought to collect source material on South African literature in English. This collection became the nucleus of the independent [[National English Documentation Centre]], established 1974 after successfully negotiating with the [[Human Sciences Research Council]] and the [[National Documentation Centre for Afrikaans Literature]] there for the transferral of all English literary documents in its holdings to Grahamstown. [[André de Villiers]] became the first director.
