The archive holdings contain extensive written materials emphasising Namibia and southern Africa in the 20th century. They encompass unpublished personal documents such as diaries, correspondence and manuscripts; minutes, newsletters and press releases from organisations; as well as thematically organised collections comprising published materials.

The holdings of written materials are continually being indexed. To date, the written materials from approximately 60 collections from both Personal and General Archives have been indexed on the level of files or subfiles (occasionally at the level of individual documents) and may be accessed using detailed finding aids and the archive catalogue.
