DIE HERVORMER
Die Hervormer is die amptelike mondstuk van die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (NHK). Reeds in 1869 is besluit om so ’n koerant uit te gee, maar oorloë en ’n mislukte kerkvereniging het die projek telkens gestuit. Op 15 Mei 1909 verskyn De Hervormer Jaargang 1 Nr 1. Die fokus is hoofsaaklik op kerknuus, maar die koerant bevat ook enkele berigte van genealogiese waarde.

Die Hervormer is the official periodical of the Nederduitsche Hervormde Church of Africa (NHK). The decision to publish such a newspaper was taken in 1869, but wars and a failed church coalition repeatedly halted the project. On 15 May 1909 Volume 1 No 1 of De Hervormer was issued. The main focus of the newspaper is church news but it also contains snippets of genealogical value.

The newsletters are available online and hosted in the University of Pretoria Library Services
Transcriptions done by Alta Griffiths. The earlier editions are all in Dutch.
