NEWA were pleased to welcome Becky Gittins, Labour MP for Clwyd East last week, to find out more about our exciting ‘Creative Archives’ project and planned move to a new, purpose-built archive centre in Mold. Becky met staff and had a tour behind the scenes at NEWA, Hawarden.

Is there one word in a document that you can’t just work out? On this #NationalHandwritingDay, why not explore resources that could help you! In the library at our Hawarden branch, we do have a few volumes which could help you and staff are more than happy to assist!

For #StDwynwensDay, this pretty book in our archives is all about the power of love! Formerly belonging to a member of the Jones family of Pen Ucha, Tremeirchion, this tiny tome was written by ‘Cousin Kate’ and published in 1910. newa.wales/collections/ge…

Here we can see two gentlemen smiling outside a Radio and Cycle shop (Ruthin, 1935). This photo inspired us to take part in #Radioday, are there any photographs in our collections that have inspired you? (PPD/90/299)
