Mapping the Archives


Earlier this year, Carmarthenshire Archives hosted three engaging and thoughtfully designed creative workshops in the Archive's Search Room.

These sessions invited participants to explore the purpose, creation, and evolution of historical maps, encouraging them to consider how past cartographers viewed the world and why their representations may differ so significantly from the landscapes we recognise today. By treating maps as powerful interpretive tools, the workshops opened a window onto the ways people have understood place, community, and belonging across time.
