The National
Library of Wales, located in Aberystwyth, recently launched a unique
website documenting the experiences of the Welsh settlers to Ohio. Funded by a
generous donation from Evan E. & Elizabeth Davis, the site is a valuable resource
for all who are interested in Welsh-American history and culture. It serves also to
celebrate and strengthen the bonds that exist between Wales and Ohio.
Phase II of the Wales/Ohio Project Has Now Begun
Menna Morgan, representative from the National Library of Wales, put out an initial call for
material to be considered for inclusion in Phase II of the project. Ms. MorganvisitedOhio in mid
May, 2008 to digitize materials submitted by individuals. Items lent for the purpose of
digitization and presentation on the Wales/Ohio website included: manuscript and printed material,
newspaper articles and clippings, periodical publications, maps, photographs, pictures, engravings,
drawings, print and audio-visual material which relate to the history, language, literature, religion,
and industries of the Welsh settlers in Ohio. Anyone with materials should contact the Madog Center
to schedule an appointment or for more information. Phase II of the website will be going live in the fall.
