Y Profiad Cymreig o’r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf / Welsh experience of World War One

A national project led by the National Library of Wales in partnership with the libraries, special collections and archives of Wales is aiming to reveal the hidden history of World War One as it affected all aspects of Welsh life, language and culture. The public were invited to be a part of the project by bringing their materials along to one of a series of events where staff will be on hand to scan letters, photographs, certificates, postcards, diaries and any other documents or memorabilia.

5 successful events were held across wales by People’s Collection Wales staff (Caernarfon, Ruthin, Brecon, Haverfordwest and Pontardawe) to digitize items from the public to share on the website.
