Coronavirus closure

In line with Government guidance and National Library of Wales policy, we have decided to close our public search room for the foreseeable future. However, we value our clients and our Enquiry Team will continue to answer enquiries sent to them by email and telephone to the best of their ability. We are presently unable to gain access to our physical archives and therefore may not be able to answer every enquiry. We will, however, do our best using the digital resources available to us. With many people working from home over the next few weeks, we recognise that this will be an ideal opportunity to catch up with work or undertake research and we will do everything possible to assist you with this.
