Williams, County Valuer, were deposited in 1962 by Mrs. Fay of North Road, Caernarvon. They were catalogued by Mrs. Madeleine Gray, Miss Diana Jones, Miss Sarah Peacock, Mr. D.C. Castledine and Mr. D.C. Phillips, students on the 1971-72 Bangor Archives Course. Catalogue Mark : M/623 INTRODUCTION by David Phillips Arrangement of Catalogue. The compilation of this catalogue presented several problems 1 . The material had only partly survived in bundles, with many papers loose. 2. The bundles' contents referred to particular transactions, undertakings or litigation. They were not arranged by type. 3 . Papers were also included of a personal nature. Hence a thematic arrangement was used. This had the added advantage of making the material more readily accessible to researchers. This does not mean though tnat the original arrangement where extant has been drastically disturbed. Hence the papers found together relating to the Llanberis Gas and Water Bill, the Gower Bridge or the Betws-y-Coed Water Improvement Scheme, are stil l together, though under their appropriate subject headings. On the other hand the large amount of material relating to the Criccieth Water Works had only partly survived in bundle form, with many loose papers and some new arrangement had to be devised here.
