Die Gereformeerde Kerkbode (1849-1923) as bron vir die Afrikaanse kultuurgeskiedenis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1993) Booyens, Bunyan; Grobbelaar, P. W.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of History.
De Gereformeerde Kerkbode was established in 1849 (which means that the one hundred and fiftieth year of its existence will be commemorated at the turn of the century); it was also the official weekly journal of the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk of South Africa from 1884. Since De Kerkbode was associated with the members of the abovementioned creed and other inhabitants of our country for about a century and a half, the journal and its contents deserve the attention of researchers in cultural, ecclesiastical, language and social history. Because of the exceptionally long history of De Kerkbode this study concentrates only on the first 75 years (1849-1923) of its existence. The investigation required that all issues of the journal over this perdiod be consulted in detail.
