Some may be those of quarries connected with the Ratgoed Quarry Company; more likely, perhaps, some may be records of companies which were represented at different times by the same agent or agents. Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history The records listed in this schedule were presented to the National Library of Wales during the Second World War, after the closure of the Ratgoed Quarry. They came from the offices of the agent of the Ratgoed Quarry Company in Machynlleth.

Study these sources about poverty and inequality in the slate industry in north Wales in the 19th century and the textile or clothing industry in modern Cambodia. The sources will help you to understand why workers are paid low wages, how they have protested and fought through trade unions to improve their lives and how their efforts have been opposed by those who stand to profit from the industry. If you would like to know more why not visit the National Slate Museum in Llanberis, north Wales. You can also research websites such as the Gwynedd Archives Slatesite.

  • Migrant Culture Maintenance: the Welsh Experience in Poultney, Rutland County, 1900-1940
    Migrant Culture Maintenance: The Welsh Experience in Poultney, Rutland County, 1900-1940 The Welsh comprised a highly visible ethno-linguistic community in Poultney, based on religion, language, culture, family ties, and participation in the area’s slate industry. BY Robert Llewellyn Tyler he old slate-quarrying town of Poultney is situated on the western border of Rutland County in Vermont. It was chartered by Benning Wentworth on September 21, 1761, and the town was organized on March 8, 1775.1 Poultney had few industries prior to 1800, and the town’s population grew slowly: numbering 1,121 in 1791; 1,950 in 1810; 1,909 in 1830; and 2,329 by 1850. In 1851, Daniel and S. E. Hooker opened the first slate quarry about three miles north of Poultney village and the industry grew rapidly, assisted by the arrival of the railroad in the same year. By 1860, Poultney could boast 16 slate companies employing some 450 workers and, in the words of contem- porary observers, by 1886 the prospects of the town were good: “Since 1875, it is said, the slate business of Poultney has more than doubled in volume, and has also greatly increased in profits. It is comparatively in its infancy yet, however, and if properly developed, will be a source of great wealth to the town.”2 The town drew migrants from across the Atlantic, initially from the countries of the United Kingdom and later from central, southern, and . Robert Llewellyn Tyler is a visiting professor at the University of Wales, New- port. He is the author of The Welsh in an Australian Gold Town (2011) and is pres- ently researching Welsh communities in the U.S.
