2019 has gotten off to a whirlwind start! Here’s an idea of some of the research that people used our collections for in January: 1984-5 Miners’ Strike – Raymond Williams – the history of Swansea University – the copper industry – coal mining – South Wales Miners’ Federation / National Union of Mineworkers (South Wales Area) lodges – miners’ welfare halls and institutes – and last, but by no means least, Richard Burton!
These are just a few of the subjects that our collections can be used for, so if you’re wondering if we’ve got something of relevance to your research please do get in contact: archives@swansea.ac.uk or 01792 295021
