-An archive and documentation centre as well as a research facility and clearinghouse in the [[Institute for Languages, Literatures and Arts]] at the [[Human Sciences Research Council]], the centre derives from the former '''National Documentation Centre for Afrikaans Literature''' (1971-1978), discussed above. In the early  1980s the [[Human Sciences Research Council]]  appointed [[Charles Malan]] as head and researcher with the commission to expand it into a far more active  research centre. It was then renamed '''CENSAL''' and, while it continued collecting archival material on South African literature, it also undertook a strong series of research projects on the social and political impact of literature in South Africa. It worked in close c9o-operation with the National Afrikaans Literary Museum and and Research Centre ([[NALN]]) in Bloemfontein and the National English Literary Museum ([[NELM]]) in Grahamstown Some of the work was also done in conjunction with the '''Centre for South African Theatre Research''' or [[CESAT]] at the same Institute of the HSRC.
