The archives

The archives held by the Llantwit Major Local History Society (in The Old School, Wine Street) contain some original documents, such as diaries, autobiographical accounts and deeds, as well as photocopied documents from other repositories, transcripts and research notes. These are kept in box files and catalogued in alphabetical order as below.

The large photographic collection covers events, personalities, views and buildings. Again these are stored in box files and catalogued according to personality, event, area or building.

All our publications, books & materials for research are available from the Society at meetings or between 3pm – 5 pm every Friday when our archive room is open.
