A statement from Glamorgan Archives in light of the current Covid-19 situation.
Updated 1st June 2021
Glamorgan Archives is pleased to announce that we will be reopening for pre-booked searchroom visits from Tuesday 8th June. Due to the ongoing restrictions, we require searchers to book in advance of any visit and let us know what documents are required. Documents will then be quarantined in advance and after use.
The searchroom will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10am-12.30pm and then 1.30pm-4pm to allow for enhanced cleaning. Guidance and clear procedures will be issued to all visitors prior to their booked session. Please email GlamRO@cardiff.gov.uk for more information and to book a seat.
We would like to thank all of our users for their patience during the last year, and for bearing with us whilst we prepared the building ready to reopen. The team at Glamorgan Archives has been very grateful for the ongoing support.

Exhibitions
Glamorgan's Blood Exhibition Online
30/04/2020 - 28/06/2021All Day
Our ‘Glamorgan’s Blood’ exhibition launched in October 2019 and was on display at Glamorgan Archives until the end of last year. The exhibition was due to travel to venues across south Wales during 2020. We were only a few months into the tour when, as a result of the Covid19 pandemic, we had to draw it to a close. The exhibition banners are now packed away until we can resume the tour. In the meantime, we’ve added the exhibition content to our website so that it can be viewed and enjoyed from home.
