It’s collections week at the Archives The work of cataloguing local authority agenda and reports isn’t particularly photogenic! But it is an important task, ensuring these series of records are fully accessible to the public. Here are some newly labelled boxes, ready to be shelved. Very satisfying!

Mae’n wythnos casgliadau yn yr Archifau Nid yw gwaith catalogio agenda ac adroddiadau awdurdod lleol yn wneud am lun da! Ond mae’n dasg bwysig sy’n sicrhau bod y cyfresi yma o gofnodion ar gael i’r cyhoedd. Dyma nifer o focsys sydd newydd gael eu labeli yn barod i’w leoli ar ein silffoedd. Da iawn!
