Glamorgan Record Office Preservation Boxing. (360G-Wellcome-080419_Z_06_Z)

Glamorgan Record Office Preservation Boxing The Glamorgan Record Office collects, preserves and makes accessible documents relating to the former counties of Mid and South Glamorgan, parishes in the Diocese of Llandaff, and the archives relating to the administration of the whole of the historic county of Glamorgan before 1974. The Glamorgan Record Office was established in 1939 and medical-related archives have been acquired since then as part of this function. The Glamorgan Record Office will be moving to new premises in the autumn of 2006. In order that the benefits of these new premises are maximised and that the Glamorgan Record Office's Collection is protected during its removal it is essential that an extensive packaging programme proceeds as quickly as possible. As a result of grant funding awarded by the Welsh Assembly Government division CyMAL: Museums Archives Libraries Wales, the Glamorgan Record Office has now purchased a Kasemake box making machine and is proceeding with its project to repackage its collection prior to a move to new premises. This grant application is to support the continuation of this project for the six months to the end of March 2006, with specific focus on the Glamorgan Record Office's significant medical collections.
