Nicolaas Jacobus van Warmelo was appointed State Ethnologist on 7 March 1930 until 1969 when he officially retired. As a state ethnologist, he strived to obtain input from knowledgeable black people when recording anthropological research data. He produced one standard work after the other and served on various committees and councils. He received recognition from various organisations for his contribution to the ethnological and linguistic field.
His collections on Language and Anthropology consist of books, unpublished manuscripts, periodicals, photographs, dictionaries, microfiche, microfilms, and memorabilia on ethnographical and ethnohistorical data on the indigenous people of South Africa and Africa. Researchers in the field of humanities, anthropology, African languages, land rights, tribes and trade, and genealogy can benefit from using this collection.
