Glamorgan Family History Society will be giving two FREE short talks – with no need to book!

Explore documents recording hundreds of years of the history of Glamorgan.  And find out more about the fascinating work that goes on in our conservation studio with demonstrations from the team.

This is a FREE event and you are welcome to drop in on the day, but places for our behind the scenes tours must be booked in advance.
