At the quarterly committee meetings the Glamorgan Archivist presents a report which outlines the work carried out by the Office in all the key areas for the previous three months. It gives details of progress on the new Glamorgan Record Office, public services, conservation, collection management and outreach and also includes a list of documents received into the Office during that period. You can access reports from April 2009 on the Cardiff Council website and from 2006 to March 2009 on the website of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council.
