Madog Center for Welsh Studies
History and Location of the Madog Center The
Madog Center for Welsh Studies at the University of Rio Grande is an
outgrowth of the North American Association for the Study of Welsh
Culture and History (NAASWCH). The first conference was held at Rio
Grande in 1995 with the generous support from the National
Welsh-American Foundation, the Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu
Association,
other Welsh donors, the Ohio Humanities Council, and the University of
Rio Grande. Established by the University of Rio Grande Board of
Trustees in June 1996, the Center moved to its permanent location in the
Elizabeth F. Davis House on October 19th, 2002.
Located
in the midst of one of the largest Welsh-American settlements in North
America, the Madog Center for Welsh Studies has established a
Resource Center which helps to support its
mission. In this endeavor, the Center is unique in the United States and
Canada. The mission of the Madog Center for Welsh Studies at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College is to foster understanding and appreciation for Welsh heritage and contemporary Welsh culture.
