Dan Jacobson material acquired by the HRHRC in 1994 consists of notes, notebooks,
printed articles, computer printout drafts, page proofs, dust jackets, and
correspondence relating to his book The Electronic Elephant:
A Southern African Journey. Because Jacobson used typescript fragments
of The God-Fearer and papers relating to his teaching
post at University College to print out some notes and the 'Semi-Final' draft, these
may be found on the versos of some printouts.
The material is housed at the end of the Jacobson papers previously received by the
HRHRC, and continues the box and folder number sequence. Intellectually, this new
material belongs with the Creative Works subseries. Further additions are expected.
