At
the Glamorgan Archives we can help you understand
a bit more about the history of the county, the place
you live, your ancestors who may have lived here,
or many other aspects of Glamorgan. The documents
we hold contain information about all sorts of Glamorgan
people in the past - from leading members of the community
to servants and the poor.
These
precious documents are unique and irreplaceable,
and to ensure their survival records are accessioned
and placed in environmentally controlled storage
rooms. Cataloguing work is undertaken by archivists.
The Conservation unit cares for the physical preservation
of the collections by repair of documents and strongroom
management.
Our
searchroom contains space for the consultation of
original documents and microfilm and microfiche readers.
Our catalogues and indexes are on open shelves and
a member of staff is always on hand to answer questions
and point searchers in the right direction.
All
this is achieved with a team of 18 staff, including
6 archivists and a conservator. More information
about staff at the Glamorgan Record Office can be
found at 'Who are we?''
