COSAW was launched in July 1987. It arose out of the need for a grassroots writer's organisation that sought to promote literature and redress the imbalances of Apartheid education. COSAW organises literary events; conducts research; liases with literacy organisations; establishes writing groups; facilitates workshops for aspirant writers from disadvantaged communities and publishes materials. This collection includes the Constitution, informational leaflet, Events Bulletin June/July 1996 and COSAW News, Vol. 1 no. 2, 1996.
