1. Inwyding van die Voortrekkermonument (1949)

Description: This is the Amptelike Program en Gedenkboek (Official Program and Commemorative Book) for the inauguration of the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, held from December 13 to 16, 1949. The cover features a distinctive illustration of the monument framed by an ox-wagon wheel, a design by the famous South African artist W.H. Coetzer.

• Significance: It marks the completion of the monument, which took over a decade to build. These programs were distributed to the thousands of people who attended the four-day festival.

2. Sentrale Voortrekker-Eeufees 18381938 (1938)

Description: This program commemorates the "Great Trek Centenary" (Eeufees). It was for the central celebrations in Pretoria held in December 1938. The cover shows the monument (which was then just beginning construction) and symbolic imagery of the "Ossewatrek."

• Significance: 1938 was a pivotal year in Afrikaner history, and items from the Eeufees are highly sought after by specific historical collectors.

3. Ou-Pretoria by Dr. Gustav S. Preller (1938)

Description: Written by the prominent historian and journalist Dr. Gustav Preller, this book (often bilingual or Afrikaans) provides a historical overview of the early days of Pretoria during the Voortrekker period. The cover features a stylized sketch of the Pretoria hills and valley.

• Significance: Preller was a key figure in documenting early Transvaal history. This book is a staple for anyone collecting "Pretoriana" (history specifically about the city).
