Dr. Percy Yutar was chief prosecutor at the Rivonia Trial. His copies of trial records and working documents were sold to the Brenthurst Library, the private library of the the Oppenheimer family, in the 1990s. The documents were donated by the Oppenheimer family to the National Archives and Record Service in November 2008. The collection was digitised in 2012, with one set of copies being retained by the National Archives, one by the Brenthurst Library, and another set by the NMCM. The ordering and numbering established by the Brenthurst Library, MS.385.1-36, has been maintained.
The first volume sets out the indictment with annexures and Dr Yutar's opening address to the Court in which he outlines the evidence he proposes to call on each of the four counts charged.
