It’s Volunteers Week!

We'd like to say a huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers past and present who contribute to the success of Glamorgan Archives. This week we’re going to showcase some of our volunteer projects.

Keith has been volunteering with us for over 25 years. In addition to helping to get several important collections deposited here, his detailed listing ensures that the records can be identified by researchers.

This photograph is taken from one of the sales catalogues within the records of Stephenson & Alexander, Auctioneers and Chartered Surveyors https://canfod.glamarchives.gov.uk/en/records/DSA

Mae’n Wythnos Gwirfoddolwyr!

Hoffwn ddiolch yn fawr iawn i’n holl wirfoddolwyr ardderchog, y rhai bu’n gwirfoddoli yn y gorffennol a’r rhai sy’n gwirfoddoli nawr, sy’n cyfrannu at lwyddiant Archifau Morgannwg.

Wythnos yma byddwn yn cymryd golwg ar rhai o’n prosiectau gwirfoddolwyr.

Mae Keith wedi bod yn gwirfoddoli yn yr Archifau ers dros 25 mlynedd. Yn ogystal â helpu sicrhau bod nifer o gasgliadau pwysig wedi cyrraedd yr Archifau, mae ei rhestri manwl yn meddwl bod hi’n bosib i ymchwilwyr ddod o hyd o gofnodion.

The fire brigade at Hughesovka, c.1900 🚒

Hughesovka was founded in 1869 by Merthyr Tydfil ironmaster John Hughes, in what is now Donetsk, Ukraine. A Welsh community grew up around the works, with chapels, schools, and its own fire brigade.

This photograph comes from the James and Waters families of Maesteg and Hughesovka. They were among those who moved east to build new lives, raising families far from Wales before eventually returning home.

In 1905, two of the James brothers were awarded a medal by the Tsar for saving thirteen miners at Anensky Colliery.

Brigâd Dân Hughesovka, tua 1900 🚒

Sefydlwyd Hughesovka yn 1869 gan y meistr haearn o Ferthyr Tudful, John Hughes, sef Donetsk, Wcráin, heddiw. Tyfodd cymuned Gymreig o amgylch y gweithfeydd, gyda chapelau, ysgolion, a'i brigâd dân ei hun.

Daw'r ffotograff hwn o gofnodion teuluoedd James a Waters o Faesteg a Hughesovka. Roeddent ymhlith y rhai a symudodd i'r dwyrain i greu bywydau newydd, gan fagu teuluoedd ymhell o Gymru cyn dychwelyd adref yn y pen draw.

Ym 1905, dyfarnwyd medal gan y Tsar i ddau frawd o deulu James am achub bywydau tri ar ddeg o lowyr yng Nglofa Anensky.
