Further Information

The materials used in this exhibition form part of the South Wales Coalfield Collection, held at the South Wales Miners’ Library and Richard Burton Archives at Swansea University.  Archival materials such as minute books, financial records, correspondence and photographs are held in the Richard Burton Archives. Oral history recordings, videos, pamphlets and various secondary sources are held at the South Wales Miners’ Library.
