Ymgynghoriad Y Pwyllgor Diwylliant, Y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu Ynglŷn В Senedd Cymru / Welsh Parliament Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Pwy sy'n cael eu coffáu mewn mannau cyhoeddus? / Who gets remembered in public spaces? CWLC STAT14 Ymateb gan Archif Menywod Cymru / Response from Women’s Archive Wales Ymgynghoriad y Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu ynglŷn â phwy sy’n cael eu coffáu mewn mannau cyhoeddus. The Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee consultation on who gets remembered in public places. Ymateb ar ran Archif Menywod Cymru / Women’s Archive Wales yw hwn – elusen a sefydlwyd yn 1998 i godi proffil menywod yn hanes Cymru ac i ddiogelu ffynonellau’r hanes hwnnw. Er mwyn cyflawni’r amcanion hyn rydym wedi cwblhau nifer o brosiectau llwyddiannus a ariannwyd gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol; yn eu plith Sioeau ar Daith Hanes Menywod, ‘Voices from the Factory Floor’ / ‘Lleisiau o lawr y Ffatri’: hanes llafar i ddiogelu profiadau 200 o fenywod fu’n gweithio mewn ffatrïoedd 1945-75; olrhain cyfraniadau menywod yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, a ‘Century of Hope’ / Canrif Gobaith’: i ddathlu canrif ers i fenywod ennill y bleidlais yn rhannol yn 1918 ac 20 mlynedd yn hanes yr Archif. Ein prosiect cyfredol yw ‘Setting the Record Straight / Gwir Gofnod o Gyfnod: diogelu papurau a lleisiau menywod yng ngwleidyddiaeth Cymru’ ac rydym wedi bod yn llwyddiannus yn caffael grant gan Senedd Cymru ar gyfer gwireddu hwn. Rydym yn gweithredu yn ddwyieithog ac ar draws Cymru. Gweler ein gwefan: www.womensarchivewales.org / www.archifmenywodcymru.org This is a response on behalf of Archif Menywod Cymru / Women’s Archive Wales – a charity established in 1998 to raise the profile of women in Welsh history and to safeguard the sources of that history. In order to achieve these aims we have completed several very successful National Lottery Heritage Funded projects, among them Women’s History Roadshows, ‘Voices from the Factory Floor’ / ‘Lleisiau o lawr y Ffatri’: an oral history capturing the experiences of 200 women who worked in manufacturing 1945-75; examining the contributions of women during The First World War; and ‘Century of Hope’ / Canrif Gobaith: to celebrate the centenary of women gaining the vote partially in 1918 and the 20 year history of the Archive. Our current project is ‘Setting the Record Straight: capturing the voices of women in Welsh Politics / ‘Gwir Gofnod o Gyfnod: diogelu papurau a lleisiau menywod yng ngwleidyddiaeth Cymru’ for which we have also been successful in gaining a grant from Senedd Cymru. We operate bilingually and across Wales. See our website: www.womensarchivewales.org / www.archifmenywodcymru.org Ymdrinnir â’r materion sy’n codi yn yr ymgynghoriad yn eu trefn. The issues which arise from the consultation paper will be addressed in order. Senedd Cymru / Welsh Parliament Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Pwy sy'n cael eu coffáu mewn mannau cyhoeddus? / Who gets remembered in public spaces? CWLC STAT14 Ymateb gan Archif Menywod Cymru / Response from Women’s Archive Wales 1. O safbwynt pa egwyddorion y dylid eu dilyn pan fydd awdurdodau cyhoeddus yn penderfynu pa unigolion y dylid eu coffáu mewn mannau cyhoeddus. Byddem yn cefnogi sefydlu meini prawf sefydlog er mwyn dewis pwy ddylai gael eu coffáu mewn mannau cyhoeddus, yn unol â’r rhestr yn y ddogfen. Regarding principles that should be followed when public authorities decide who should be remembered in public spaces e would endorse setting up fixed criteria for deciding on new acts of public commemoration, as listed in the document. 2. Y broses y dylai awdurdodau cyhoeddus ei dilyn wrth benderfynu tynnu i lawr neu drosglwyddo cerflun neu heneb neu ail-enwi lle – unwaith eto dylai’r penderfyniad fod yn seiliedig ar y meini prawf sefydlog cyfredol a rhestr o reolau sefydlog fel y nodir yn y ddogfen ac hefyd yn seiliedig ar feini prawf cenedlaethol / lleol fel bo’n briodol. O safbwynt sut y gellir dwyn pobl leol i mewn i’r broses byddem yn argymell y dylid rhoi llais i ystod eang o fudiadau a chymdeithasau yn yr ymgynghoriad e.e. y gymuned leol; grwpiau hanes lleol; mudiadau arbenigol e.e. y Siartwyr yng Nghasnewydd; prifysgolion; haneswyr, archifyddion, llyfrgellwyr ac ymchwilwyr amgueddfeydd proffesiynol a.y.b. er mwyn sicrhau caffael consensws eang o dystiolaeth. The process public authorities should follow when deciding to remove or transfer a statue or monument or rename a place – again the decision to be taken based upon the current fixed criteria and common set of rules such as noted in the document and also based upon national/local consultations as appropriate. In terms of how local people be engaged in the process we would recommend that a wide range of organisations be involved in the consultation e.g. the local community; local history groups; specialist organisation e.g Chartists in Newport etc, schools; universities; professional historians, librarians, archivists and museum researchers; etc in order that broad consensus is obtained. 3. Os bernir bod cerfluniau neu henebion yn amhriodol, Cefnogwn eu gadael lle maent a sicrhau plac deongliadol manwl yn rhoi’r hanes yn llawn, boed dda neu ddrwg i roi eu cyd- destun a chynnig dehongliad cytbwys o’u hanesion. Mae’r gost o’u tynnu i lawr a’u rhoi mewn amgueddfeydd yn ormodol a byddai’n gosod pwysau ariannol gormodol ar awdurdodau lleol ac amgueddfeydd. If statues / monuments are judged to be inappropriate we would favour keeping them in situ and providing an interpretative plaque / information board to contextualise them and ensure that there is a balanced approach to interpreting their histories. The cost of taking them down and putting them in museums would be prohibitive and this would place too much financial pressure on local authorities and museums. 4. Grwpiau / unigolion sydd wedi eu tangynrychioli mewn cofebau cyhoeddus. Fel elusen a sefydlwyd yn benodol er mwyn hyrwyddo ail-ddarganfod hanes a threftadaeth menywod yng Nghymru ac i rannu’r wybodaeth honno, rydym wedi dadlau’r gyson nad yw menywod yn cael eu cynrychioli mewn coffáu o’r fath. Does DIM UN cerflun i fenyw unigol yng Nghymru, ac eithrio Buddug yn Neuadd yr Arwyr / Arwresau yng Nghaerdydd – Senedd Cymru / Welsh Parliament Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Pwy sy'n cael eu coffáu mewn mannau cyhoeddus? / Who gets remembered in public spaces? CWLC STAT14 Ymateb gan Archif Menywod Cymru / Response from Women’s Archive Wales cynrychioliadau o gymeriadau mytholegol neu dylwyth teg yw’r gweddill. Fel mudiad rydym wedi cefnogi ymgyrch ddiweddar y Monumental Women Wales ac yn falch fod cerflun o Betty Campbell i’w ddadorchuddio yng Nghaerdydd yn 2021. At hyn rydym yn cefnogi’r 4 cynrychioliad coffáu arall sy’n cael eu trefnu (i gofio Cranogwen, Arglwyddes Rhondda, Elaine Morgan ac Elizabeth Andrews) yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf. Credwn y caiff rhai o’r rhain eu hariannu trwy arian cyhoeddus, ond bydd eraill yn dibynnu ar ymdrechion gwirfoddol i godi digon o arian i gwblhau’r dasg. Mae ymdeimlad er hynny bod cerfluniau yn gynrychioliadau gwrywaidd ac y byddai darn o gelf yn fwy addas (gweler ‘cerflun’ Catrin Glyndwr yn St Swithin’s Lundain, neu Carreg Martha a gaiff ei lle yn Llandudno i gofio Martha Hughes Cannon). Gallai’r fath goffáu gynnwys pob math o blaciau, meinciau parc, enwau strydoedd, neuaddau cyngerdd, enwau ysgolion a.y.b.. Yn wir rydym wedi bod yn cyfrannu at brosiect sy’n ceisio cofnodi enwau strydoedd sy’n coffáu menywod yn ystod 2020 ond maent yn brin iawn yng Nghymru. Mae llawer o strydoedd yng Nghaerfyrddin, er enghraifft, wedi eu henwi ar ôl dynion fu’n gynghorwyr a.y.b. (ac a wnaeth fawr ddim) ond dim un i fenyw leol a wnaeth bethau llawer mwy pwysig. Mae Archif Menywod Cymru wedi bod yn weithredol yn hyrwyddo Placiau Glas i fenywod e.e. yn Abertawe i goffáu Emily Phipps, y Chwiorydd Ace, Ann o Abertawe a Clara Neal ac rydym yn cefnogi hyn yn enwedig pan fo’r menywod yn lleol a’r ymgyrch yn cipio’r dychymyg lleol. Yn ddiweddar cefnogodd Cyngor Dinas Abertawe blac glas er cof am Jessie Donaldson fu’n helpu caethion i ddianc o dde i ogledd America yn ei chartref ar y rheilffordd danddaearol yn Ohio, UDA. Roeddem yn falch i ddeall bod grŵp lleol wedi dod ynghyd i gyllido plac glas er cof am Kate Davies, Llandysul, bardd, awdur a chofiadur ardal. Roeddem wedi bwriadu tynnu sylw at gyfraniad Kate Davies yn ystod ein sesiwn arfaethedig yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Ceredigion yn 2020 – byddai wedi bod ymhlith yr 25 Menyw Nodedig o Geredigion y credem y dylid eu cydnabod yn gyhoeddus mewn rhyw ffordd. Cynhelir y sesiwn hon yn awr yn 2021. Rydym yn cefnogi’r ymgyrch Placiau Porffor hefyd ac yn falch fod mwy ohonynt i’w codi yng Nghymru e.e rydym wedi chwarae rhan allweddol yn yr ymgyrch i goffáu Charlotte Price White â phlac porffor ym Mangor, y gobeithir ei ddadorchuddio yn 2021. 4. Under-represented groups / individuals in public commemoration. As a charity set up specifically to promote the re-discovery of women’s history and heritage in Wales and to disseminate that information, we have argued constantly that women are not represented in such commemoration. There are NO statues to individual women in Wales, with the exception of Bouddica (Buddug) in the Cardiff Hall of Heroes/Heroines – the other representations are of mythical or fairy figures. As a movement we have endorsed the recent Monumental Women Wales campaign and are pleased that a statue to Betty Campbell is to be unveiled in Cardiff in 2021. We also support the other 4 commemorative Senedd Cymru / Welsh Parliament Pwyllgor Diwylliant, y Gymraeg a Chyfathrebu / Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee Pwy sy'n cael eu coffáu mewn mannau cyhoeddus? / Who gets remembered in public spaces? CWLC STAT14 Ymateb gan Archif Menywod Cymru / Response from Women’s Archive Wales representations which are being organised (for Cranogwen, Lady Rhondda, Elaine Morgan and Elizabeth Andrews) during the next few years.

For example, House of Commons there are high tariffs on ceramic catering-ware imports…and without this barrier our exports to the USA could grow.” Of course we will take action through the Trade Remedies Thursday 5 March 2020 Authority to deal with the illegal dumping of ceramic products on the UK market, but it is simply wrong to say that the ceramics industry would not benefit from a The House met at half-past Nine o’clock US trade deal. PRAYERS Bill Esterson: But Laura Cohen is not talking about the type of trade deal that the Government are proposing, is she? The BCC has warned of the dangers of the [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] Government’sproposed mutual recognition clauses, which is where the flood of low-quality imports would come from. The Secretary of State’s own scoping assessment says nothing about the impact of cheap US imports on Oral Answers to Questions UK manufacturing either, so why will she not listen to the industry? Should the Government not rethink their approach to the US agreement and look after our own excellent manufacturing sector, rather than pursuing a INTERNATIONAL TRADE policy of “America First”? Elizabeth Truss: I find this pretty ludicrous.

  • Oxford DNB: January 2021
    Oxford DNB: January 2021 Welcome to the seventieth update of the Oxford DNB, which adds biographies of 241 individuals who died in the year 2017: 224 with their own entries and seventeen added to existing entries as 'co-subjects'. Of these new inclusions, the earliest born is the journalist Clare Hollingworth (1911-2017) and the latest born is the artist and photographer Khadija Saye (1992- 2017). Hollingworth is one of five centenarians included in this update, and Saye one of thirty-four new subjects born after the Second World War. The vast majority (169, or over 70%) were born in the 1920s and 1930s. Sixty-three of the new subjects who died in 2017 (or just over 26% of the cohort) are women. Twenty of the new subjects were themselves contributors to the dictionary. Forty-five of the new articles include portrait images. From January 2021, the Oxford DNB offers biographies of 64,071 men and women who have shaped the British past, contained in 61,745 articles. 11,870 biographies include a portrait image of the subject—researched in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, London. As ever, we have a free selection of these new entries, together with a full list of the new biographies. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to the Oxford DNB, which means you can access the complete dictionary for free via your local library. Libraries offer 'remote access' that enables you to log in at any time at home (or anywhere you have internet access). Elsewhere the Oxford DNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

  • Black History Month in Wales Great Black Women—Past and Present
    Black History Month in Wales Great Black Women—Past and Present Black History Month (BHM) in Wales acknowledges the contributions by Black people to local, national and world history and culture. It delivers an informative educational and celebratory programme annually traditionally during the month of October, but in Wales, we celebrate September to November. It also allows the wider community to take part, learn and celebrate together to promote understanding and share our global history. Wales arguably hosts one of the first truly multi-cultural cities in the world where numer- ous nationalities have lived side-by-side in harmony for many decades. BHM Wales aim to: Educate people in Wales Challenge negative perceptions Celebrate the positive contributions and Promote the history of people of African Diaspora heritage This year’s theme for BHM is “Great Black Women—Past and Present. The evolution of women’s rights and equality between black and white, male and female are two issues that continually cross paths. There have been many bold, brave and successful black women throughout history, some widely known and many others the unsung and forgotten “s-heroes” of our time. Examples of Great Welsh Women to Begin Your Research Betty Campbell MBE—Wales’ first black Head Teacher Betty became the first black Head Teacher at Mount Stuart Primary in Butetown, Cardiff during the 1970s. “Every month was Black History Month” for her pupils, who had the opportunity to learn about black people’s experiences and positive contributions to British society within the curriculum.

By now most Welsh pupils have returned to school, some for the first time for almost six months. According REEF to Kirsty Williams, Education Minister for Wales, it was more dangerous for pupils to keep staying at home than for them to return to school. She said: “Every decision we have made has been backed by the latest available scientific and medical guidance. Thanks to Wales’s cautious and careful approach, Covid’s presence in our communities is declining.

  • NEWSLETTER September 2020
    _________________________________________________________________________________________ NEWSLETTER September 2020 www.womansarchivewales.org________________________________________________________________ News this Summer As an Archive you may have expected us to go into complete Lockdown in view of the current difficult and frustrating situation, but this has been far from the case. The Steering Committee has continued to ‘meet’ regularly over Zoom and to plan ahead, so that we can keep the momentum going and ensure the future of the Archive is bright. Avril Rolph Bursary This was the second year for awarding the Avril Rolph Bursary, in memory of our esteemed colleague and friend Avril, who was the Honorary Vice-president of WAW and its Administrative Secretary. This year we had three applications and all three presented themselves and their research for the competition over Zoom to the WAW committee in July. The three adjudicators: Elin Jones, Neil Evans and Siân Rhiannon Williams, who delivered the adjudication on their behalf, decided that the 2020 Bursary winner was Teleri Owen, from Conwy, a final year student of History at Cardiff University and who has researched (through the medium of Welsh) the contribution of women to the Great Penrhyn Quarry Strike of 1900-03. She has been awarded the Bursary of £200 and a certificate. She and the other two candidates, Sophie Jarrett and Sarah Locke will be delivering their papers in our Symposium on 3 October. It should be a fascinating hour. National Eisteddfod With the Ceredigion National Eisteddfod postponed until 2021, we were challenged to think how we could contribute to the alternative online Eisteddfod. The very successful solution was to edit the Century of Hope film made for our Heritage Lottery Fund project in 1918 to celebrate the centenary of women getting the partial vote and the twenty years history of the Archive itself, into a Welsh-language film with a short introduction and conclusion by the Chair.
