YR EGLWYS FETHODISTAIDD : CYLCHDAITH CYMRU, ARDAL CEREDIGION ARCHIF Y GYLCHDAITH : RHESTR GYFLAWN O EITEMAU AR ADNAU

THE METHODIST CHURCH : CEREDIGION CIRCUIT CIRCUIT ARCHIVE : COMPLETE LIST OF ITEMS DEPOSITED

Hyd at 2000 rhoddwyd yr archif hon ar adnau yn Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru. Yn 2000 newidiodd y Llyfrgell Genedlaethol ei pholisi a dechreuodd drosglwyddo’r archif i Archifdy Ceredigion. Rhoddwyd yr holl eitemau o’r gylchdaith er 2000 ar adnau yn Archifdy Ceredigion. Serch hynny, dylid nodi bod llawer o’r archif heb ei throsglwyddo eto gan y Llyfrgell Genedlaethol a hefyd bydd rhai Planiau ac effemera printiedig yn aros ymysg y casgliadau o ddefnyddiau printiedig yn y Llyfrgell Genedlaethol.

Mae’r rhestr hon yn ceisio cofnodi’r holl archif a rhoi gwybodaeth sylfaenol am y cylchdeithiau a’r capeli lle mae modd gwneud hynny. Yn y nodiadau Hugh Jones = Hanes Wesleyaeth Gymreig (4 cyfrol, 1911-13). Mae CER ar ddiwedd cofnod yn dynodi bod yr eitem yn Archifdy Ceredigion. Mae LL yn dynodi bod yr eitem yn Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru.

------

Until 2000 this archive was placed on deposit in the National Library of Wales. In 2000 the National Library changed its policy and began transferring the archive to Ceredigion Archives. All new deposits from the circuit since 2000 have been made to Ceredigion Archives. Despite this, it should be noted that much of the archive has not yet been transferred by the National Library and there are also some Plans and printed ephemera which will remain among the collections of printed materials in the National Library. Ceir rhestrau llawnach yng nghatalogau’r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol ac Archifdy Ceredigion.

This list attempts to record the whole archive and, where possible, to give basic information about the circuits and chapels. In the notes Hugh Jones refers to the work Hanes Wesleyaeth Gymraeg (4 vols, 1911-13). CER at the end of an entry indicates that the item is in Ceredigion Archives. LL indicates that the item is in the National Library of Wales. Fuller listings are given in the catalogues of the National Library and Ceredigion Archives.
