The History of the Flags of South Africa Before 1900

A translation of Die geskiedenis van die vlae van Suid-Afrika voor 1900. This hitherto virtually unknown study was, in its original form, submitted to the University of South Africa as a dissertation in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts., the written examination of which was completed in December 1940. The MA degree was awarded in 1943. Despite being probably the first South African academic study in the field of vexillology, the existence of this dissertation was known only to a small number of vexillologists. The fact that the dissertation was written in Afrikaans also made it inaccessible to the wider international flag fraternity.
