Georgios
undertaking repair work in |
The staff at the Glamorgan Record Office have recently been joined by Georgios Bantas. Georgios is a first year student in Archaeological Conservation at the University of Wales, Cardiff. As part of his degree programme, he is required to undertake a work experience placement. So for the next month Georgios will be based in the Record Office’s conservation department, where he’ll be working with our conservator, Michael Hodgson. He will be undertaking a broad spectrum of archive conservation work, but his main tasks will be completing more complicated repair work on the Cardiff: the Building of a Capital building regulations plans, along with treatment of some of our large coal maps. |

Archives Task
Force Consultation Day
The Archives
Task Force was set-up by Resource, the Council for Museums Archives
and Libraries, in order to carry out an in-depth analysis and review
of the state of the UK’s archives, ensuring that they are better
used, better cared for and better understood. The Task Force has been
holding consultation days across the UK, in order to discuss key issues,
including funding and access, with both archive professionals and users.
The Welsh consultation Day was held on May 19th. Members of Glamorgan
Record Office staff, along with a number of Record Office users, attended
the consultation, where priorities were debated with a panel of Task
Force members and Resource staff. |
