National Library of Wales

Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru, or the National Library of Wales, is one of Wales’s leading cultural institutions, and its principal source of recorded knowledge. It is a body of international standing, and contributes to a worldwide network of knowledge providers. The Library set up a programme to digitise its collection in 2001 by establishing a dedicated digitisation team. Since then this team has been responsible for digitising a wide range of materials from the Library’s extensive collection and have contributed to many digitisation projects over the years. The Library’s knowledge and expertise in the field is substantial.
