In January, the Archives Network Wales project started to create a
web-searchable index to archive sources in Wales. It is supported by the Heritage
Lottery Fund and the project partners, the members of Archives Council Wales. The
site forms a strand of the National Archives Network; the project involves the
creation of fonds/collection level descriptions for the holdings of the
partners, supplementing existing descriptions which will be transferred into the
system. Full details of the project can be found on the ANW website, which has
now gone live.
www.archivesnetworkwales.info (English version)
www.rhwydwaitharchifaucymru.info (Welsh version)
Features of the website available now:
Project background, scope and programme
List of project partners and links to their websites
Page of links to other archive sources on the web
Feedback page
The searchable interface will go live in September 2003 and will be
continually updated until December 2005. The team has just completed work on the
collections of the National Library of Wales, and has moved on to those for the
Anglesey County Record Office.
The records for each project partner will be posted on the website as they
are finished.
