Our Five Communities History Group Project work continues apace despite the current challenging times.

My colleague Angela and I have been working together with the Llangwm Local History Society in providing detailed cataloguing and digitisation of their extensive local collection of archives telling the history of Llangwm and the community.

Even a global pandemic has yet to stop the committed team or the project in its work to provide the maximum access and preservation of the community’s history, heritage and identity.

The Llangwm historical collection of material we are working on is both extensive and varied in scope and provides a fascinating insight into Llangwm as a community through the ages with a huge variety of different types of material.

Some absolute historical gems have already been catalogued and digitised included material from the village’s national award-winning First World War History Project.

Currently, we are just embarking on work on an extensive photographic collection of life in the village in bygone times as well as other material and hope to soon have this available online.

With the amount of wonderful archival material generated by the community, there is plenty to be going on with during these challenging times.

Work goes on!
