Glamorgan Archives events programme The Jewish History Association of South Wales (JHASW) was established in November 2017 with the aim to uncover, document, preserve, and share the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the Jewish communities of south Wales. One of the projects undertaken was a partnership with the museums in Rhondda Cynon Taf. This talk will focus on the discoveries and research undertaken in the Cynon Valley Museum and within the local community. The aim is to explain, not only what we found but how we found it. Join us on the 22nd of April to...

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.
