Albums and Scrapbooks

Scrapbooks, photo albums and other memorabilia collections are shared by many people. 

The first album was shared by Dutch world champion Ada Kok, who visited South Africa on a number of occasions.

James Green

'Jimmy' Green was a renowned swimming coach in the Transvaal, producing a number of Springboks from the 1920s - 1940s.

At one time, he was the superintendent at the Central Bath in Pretoria, where a fire broke out and damaged his scrapbook. This book was rescued by his family and donated to the site.

British champion swimmer Hilda James toured South Africa and Rhodesia in 1925.
