Our collection is safely and securely stored on our behalf at Glamorgan Archives in Cardiff. Our volunteers continue to work there, sorting boxes, recording all the books, papers, tapes and photographs within our collection and have been adding them to the online archive.
The project started with over 95 boxes of mixed materials.
There are:
- c.800 cassette tapes
- minidiscs
- hundreds of CDs
- c.60 VHS tapes
- books
- newsletters and magazines
- research papers
- photo albums
- newspaper articles
- photographs (and lots of negatives as well)
- seamen's discharge books, ration books and other personal documents
- paintings and sketches
- a school register
- floppy disks (remember those?)
- flags (mostly from the Norwegian church)
- and lots of other papers and documents.....
They have now been reboxed and catalogued to comply with archival standards and thankfully are a lot more organised!
Research on the content and accessibility of the collection is ongoing.
Our catalogue is now available at Glamorgan Archives
