In the early 1970s, Harry Oppenheimer founded The Brenthurst Press to publish works based on the holdings of the library, so that the resources of the library would be available to a wider audience. He wished the books to be both scholarly and attractive, so authors with expert subject knowledge are commissioned and the books are produced to archival standards. Not published within a series, Brenthurst Archives: Footnotes to History was published in four parts in 1994 and 1995.
Brenthurst Archives volume 1 number 1 1994- Contents: Olive Schreiner: selected documents, The Cape in 1827 as seen by Marianne James, Some bookplates in The Brenthurst Library, A visit to Table Bay in 1608.
Brenthurst Archives volume 1 number 2 1994- Contents: One moment! A glimpse into the writings of Alan Paton, Helen Vanderplanks wild flowers of the Port Elizabeth area, Letter from Robert Jacob Gordon to Hendrik Fagel, 1779, The Bridge by Leonard French.
Both volumes in excellent condition, illustrated throughout.
