Report of the County Archivist West Glamorgan Archives Committee 14 June 2013
The purpose of this report is to outline the work of the Archive Service during the period March 2013 to May 2013
1. Overview
A key part of this report to be noted is the business improvement action plan for 2013-14 which is attached in Appendix 1. Members will also have received a copy of the Annual Report of the County Archivist, which contains a detailed assessment of our annual performance for 2012-13 and should be viewed alongside this review of the last three months. If a hard copy of the annual report has not yet been received, it has also been published online at www.swansea.gov.uk/westglamorganarchives and can be viewed there.
2. Service improvement
The following paragraphs have been linked to the 2013-14 business improvement action plan (BIAP), the full version of which is printed in Appendix 1.
Work is progressing on the development of sessions for Key Stage 3 pupils on the Industrial Revolution and on World War I. A meeting was held with the Head of History at Cefn Hengoed School, Swansea, which will pilot the sessions next academic year (BIAP1). During March, we created a Key Stage 3 session to be delivered at the South Wales Miners Museum based around the life of a miner in Glyncorrwg.
We are preparing for the re-assessment of the Service against the Investors in People standard, which will take place on 29 July (BIAP5).
A fresh survey of non-users in Swansea is planned for the near future. It is remembered that, when this exercise was last carried out, members
Page 5 expressed the desire that a similar survey should also be undertaken in Neath Port Talbot (BIAP6).
Exterior work to the fabric of the Neath Mechanics Institute has taken place during the quarter. Further damp-proofing work to the basement is planned (BIAP8).
A series of talks introducing people to using the Archives and explaining how to compile a family tree has been organised for the rest of 2013 and the first talks in this series have been given (BIAP11).
3. Service performance
Statistics for March to May 2013
The number of members of public using the Service on-site, March to May 2013, was 2,429 and the total number reached by the Service on and off-site was 2,480.
Number of on-site visits at Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot 2,429 (2,377) (figures in brackets represent the same quarter last year), comprising:
Swansea 1,494 (1,554) Neath 667 (628) Port Talbot 92 (126) Group visits 176 (69)

4. Service outreach
Publications
The 2012-13 Annual Report of the County Archivist has been printed and distributed to major depositors, ‘friends of the archives’, schools and selected local politicians. It contains a comprehensive review of the achievements of the past year and provides statistics on our overall annual performance. Almost all of these statistics were compiled and made available at the end of the financial year (which occurred during the last quarter) and members are asked to refer to the annual report for detail on the Service’s performance for 2012-13 to avoid duplication here.
The report has also been published online on the West Glamorgan Archive Service web pages. It is proposed to save around £2,000 per annum in future by publishing the report solely electronically. Members’ views are sought on this.
Page 6
As is usual at this time of year, members are asked to choose two designs for the Archives Christmas card, one for Swansea and one for Neath Port Talbot.
The preparation of a volume of Bernard Morris’ writings to be published by the Gower Society in collaboration with the Archive Service and the Royal Institution of South Wales is pressing ahead and the launch date has been set for 19 October. As agreed at the December meeting, the Service is helping to provide guarantee against loss for this publication (together with the other two bodies mentioned above).
Exhibitions
The Service was successful in a funding bid to Welsh Government for the creation an exhibition for the centenary of the outbreak of World War I in 2014. This exhibition was detailed in the last quarterly report and discussed at the March meeting.
Education Service
The Service has held sessions for the following schools during the last quarter (statistics of numbers reached as above):
Bryn Grange Mayals (x2) Penybryn
We also held two sessions for Swansea University History undergraduates undertaking the ‘Practice of History’ module.
A pupil of Olchfa School spent a week in March working alongside Archives staff.
A Swansea University postgraduate spent two weeks working on a resources guide for the Swansea Valley. This work was undertaken as part of and funded by Swansea University’s Key Heritage Skills project.
Other outreach work
The Service had stands at several local events during the quarter:
‘The Price of Coal’, a seminar on coal mining, diseases and disability, Swansea World War One digitisation roadshow, Pontardawe
The County Archivist wrote the foreword to, and spoke at the launch of, the book ‘Those Saturday Nights – The Story of Swansea’s Tower Ballroom’.
Page 7 As part of an all-Wales marketing campaign for archives, the Service ran a competition entitled ‘Tell us your Story’ which ran in both our Swansea and Neath service points. Two local winners were chosen, one from Swansea and one from Neath, from the dozens who had written an account of the interesting things they had found in the archives. Each winner received a small prize, which was funded by the marketing campaign.
5. Professional meetings and partnership working
Members of staff have attended the following local history meetings during the last quarter:
‘Mining Josef Herman’ project steering group South Wales Record Society
Members of staff have attended the following professional meetings during the last quarter:
Archives and Records Council Wales (ARCW) ARCW Marketing Steering Group Chief Archivists in Local Government AGM CIPFA Statistics Working Party
On 30 April, I attended the National Library of Wales to appear before a Heritage Lottery Fund assessment panel for the project Cynefin: Mapping Wales’ Sense of Place. This ARCW project, which has been reported on before, encompasses the digitisation of all the 1,091 tithe maps of Wales together with six local projects spread across Wales based around the tithe maps. The result of our funding bid for £486,000 is expected on 20 June.
On 1 May, I took part in a meeting at Gloucestershire Archives of an Archives and Records Association working group which is looking to develop a single archive reader’s ticket for the UK. If this work progresses, the development of a single ticket giving access to archives across the UK will be a considerable achievement.
6. Accessions of archives
A comprehensive list of archives received during the period March to May 2013 is attached at Appendix 2.
