  • Projects, News and Events That Showcase the Great Work Going on in Museums Across Wales
    Cylchlythyr ar gyfer Ffederasiwn Amgueddfeydd ac Oriel Celf Cymru The newsletter of the Federation of Museums & Art Galleries of Wales Hydref / October 2015 Hello from the Fed.. Welcome to another bumper edition of Ymag packed with projects, news and events that showcase the great work going on in Museums across Wales. It is a significant time for Welsh Museums. Whilst facing financial challenges, we also have a real opportunity to help transform the sector and build resilience for the long-term benefit of the people of Wales. The Fed urges all of our members to raise awareness of Welsh Museums by lobbying your local AM to respond to the Museums Review, which presents a model of delivery to improve the structure and influence of our sector. If you have heard of any feedback or media reports about the review in your area please share it with us and send a copy to Rachel Silverson. Rachel Silverson (President) Projects Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum continues search for WW1 photos The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, Caernarfon has undertaken the mammoth task of collecting photos of individual RWF soldiers killed in the Great War. Each man’s name is displayed on screen on the centenary of his death. Over 10,500 Royal Welch Fusiliers lost their lives during WW1. After 12 months of searching we have more than 2000 photographs, but would dearly love to add a photo to every name. We are appealing to other museums and centenary projects for help so please circulate our plea! We’ve already been greatly assisted by the Flintshire and West Wales Memorial projects, Holyhead Maritime Museum, Port Sunlight Museum and Conwy Archives to name “The Faces of Wales project is but a few.
