GB0219XD90 Gwynedd Archives, Caernarfon Record Office This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 36310 JA The National Archives GWASANAETH ARCHIFAU AC AMGUEDDFEYDD GWYNEDD ARCHIFDY CAERNARFON GWYNEDD ARCHIVES AND MUSEUMS SERVICE CAERNARFON RECORD OFFICE ARCHIFAU CYMDEITHAS CELFYDDYDAU GOGLEDD CYMRU NORTH WALES ARTS ASSOCIATION ARCHIVE Rhif cyfeirio: XD90/ Reference number Rhestrwyd gan: LESLEY OWEN Listed by Caernarfon 1993 Rhestrir yma y dogfennau hynny a ddewiswyd i'w cadw'n barhaol. Penderfynwyd eu cadw oherwydd eu perthnasedd i bolisi a phrif weithgareddau Cymdeithas Celfyddydau Gogledd Cymru; difawyd gweddill y ffeiliau.Cynrychiola y rhai a gedwir holl ystod gwaith artistig y Gymdeithas ar draws Gogledd Cymru, yn arbennig ym maes ariannu clybiau a chymdeithasau a hybu arddangosfeydd a gwyliau celfyddydol. Maent hefyd yn cynnwys ffeiliau Mabon, cylchgrawn y Gymdeithas a ymddangosai ddwywaith y flwyddyn yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg, sydd yn adlewyrchu gwaith y Gymdeithas efo llenorion ysgolion Gogledd Cymru. Nid yw'r cofnodion a adneuwyd yn dangos tystiolaeth o system ffeilio parhaol, ac felly fe'u trefnwyd mewn ffordd a ymddangosai'n briodol; nodir rhifau ffeilio, lie maent i'w cael ar y dogfennau, y tu mewn i gromfachau petryal. Paratowyd y rhestr yn 61 ag argyrnhellion y Manual of Archival Description [Ail olygyddiad]. The documents listed here are those selected for permanent preservation. They were deemed worthy of preservation because of their general relevance to the policy and main activities of the N.W.A.A. , and the remainder were destroyed. Those records preserved represent the Association^ artistic endeavours throughout North Wales, particularly in funding clubs and societies and promoting cultural and artistic exhibitions and festivals. Such documents also include the records of Mabon, the Association^ bi-annual magazine, published in English and Welsh, which reflects the Association^ involvement with North Wales schools and local writers. The records deposited showed no evident continuous filing system, and therefore an appropriate order was created (exsting file numbers were included in square brackets wherever they occurred).
