Administrative / Biographical History

The Women's Archive of Wales exists to promote the study, and to rescue and preserve the sources, of women's history in Wales. They collect a broad range of archival, photographic and other material sources which illustrate the history and heritage of women in Wales, and their experience in a range of spheres including the domestic, political, religious, economic, cultural and social. The material collected is deposited in their name in existing record offices in Wales, and in the National Library of Wales, where they are properly cared for, and where they can be accessed by researchers subject to any applied restrictions.
