Welcome to Glamorgan Archives’ website
We collect records relating to the history of Glamorgan and its people. Records can range from:
- papers,
- plans,
- photographs,
- parchments,
- personal diaries, and
- council minutes.
For more details see our collection policy.
We are particularly interested in locating records in imminent danger of destruction or decay so that they may be saved for future generations.
