Was the relationship between the indigenous people and Welsh settlers in Y Wladfa really one of friendship and felicity, as we assume? Join Paul O’Leary and Lucy Taylor as they discuss several themes that challenge the romantic view of Y Wladfa. 📎 https://t.co/YrVabBfnw7

Attended this fantastic session by @gem_heritage Cymru this afternoon. Excellent presentations on projects taking place at museums across Wales. Really showed the value of putting funding and talented people who are passionate about their work together

So disheartening to read about failing financial support for culture in Wales, especially when culture is one of the four critical areas identified in the Welsh Government's Well-being of Future Generations Act:
theguardian.com
Language, history and arts are what make us a nation – and they’re at risk when funding is slashed to levels among the lowest in Europe, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

Fantastic to see the innovative work our museums in Wales are doing to deliver the #antiracistwalesactionplan @VicMRogers @DiwylliantCymru @WelshMuseumsFed @MuseumsAssoc
A podcast has moved in, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to our bookshop in @narberthmuseum. Thanks to Beloved and @mariangwyn for inspiration.

Delighted to have been part of the team that put this application together. Digitising this collection will make it accessible to a global readership. These documents reveal the role of imperial families in the daily workings of Atlantic slavery.
Great news! We’ve been awarded a grant of £14,850 to digitise the Jamaica Papers held within the Penrhyn estate archive. This joint project with the Institute for the Study of Welsh Estates will see a selection of the papers made freely available online. https://t.co/1S3WcR5Iae
