Explore Your Archive! Carmarthenshire Archives

06/12/2022

Archives are full of wonderful and intriguing things – not just documents! Explore Your Archive week is an opportunity for archive services across the UK and Ireland to share their treasures with the public.

This is a free event for the public to get advice from family historians, conservators, and experts in community and diverse histories to really fire up the imagination and get everyone exploring the archive. As well as presentations from our three speakers, you will be given a behind-the-scenes tour of the building, to see for yourself where all these local treasures are stored. This event will take place at Carmarthenshire Archives. Refreshments will be provided.

Our three speakers are:

Family History: Helen Palmer, County Archivist, Ceredigion Archives.

Conservation: Rhiannon Griffiths, Conservator, Gwent Archives

Disability History in the Archives: Professor David Turner, Swansea University

Further details can be found on Eventbrite.
