Again this year the Library has taken 

significant steps towards realising the 

strategy outlined in its Corporate Plan 

2005/6 – 2007/8, Knowledge, Memory, 

Identity. This Report emphasises how we 

continue to develop our vision of creating 

an open library and a digital library without 

undermining the core functions which are 

central to our existence. Here is proof of 

our constant dealings with our users both 

in the Library and remotely; our efforts to 

strengthen the technical infrastructure of 

the Library; and our commitment to 

working in partnership with other 

organisations and groups. 

We record here the aims which are central 

to the Library's activities and to the 

strategies of the National Assembly, our 

principal funding body, and we show how 

we contribute to the fulfilment of those 

aims. 

This Report not only records the activity of 

one year, but also looks forward. By the 

time it is published, we expect that the 

new Royal Charter of the Library will have 

come into force, with consequent 

significant changes in the governance of 

the institution, including the abolition of 

the Court and the re-formation of the 

Council as a Board of Trustees. This 

change will inaugurate our centenary 

celebrations in 2007. 

forward and looking outward at the 

beginning of a new century. Its core 

functions of collecting, preserving and 

making available stand; but the ways of 

accomplishing them in the digital age are 

fast changing. We have therefore put 

significant effort into the project to 

establish a new information management 

system, which will create more effective 

and more unified ways of searching for 

information about our collections, 

including digital publications and 

artefacts. We are also redesigning the 

Library's website to enable the ever 

increasing number of remote users to find 

information about us. In addition, we will 

be ready to face the growing challenge of 

collecting, preserving, and giving access 

to the digital material which we will receive 

under the revised conditions of legal 

deposit. 

In this Report we note examples of cooperation 

with organisations and 

individuals, and we appreciate their 

willingness to discuss and seek to 

develop co-operatively, more effective 

ways of delivering our services. In 

submitting the Report at the start of a new 

period of our history, we are confident that 

we are not only celebrating the identity of 

this distinguished national institution, but 

also continuing to contribute to the wellbeing 

of Wales and the world. 

As we look forward to marking one 

hundred years of our first Royal Charter 

which was granted on 19 March 1907, we 

may reflect on how the Library is looking

Programmes and Exhibitions 

A full programme of events in the Drwm 

and public areas was sustained 

throughout the year. The series of 

lunchtime lectures has now become an 

established part of the Library's calendar, 

and provides a forum for the presentation 

and interpretation of the Library's 

collections. To coincide with the launch of 

the Encore! exhibition an evening with 

Dafydd Iwan was organised, and proved 

extremely popular. Among the musicrelated 

films shown was Rupert Julian's 

Phantom of the Opera (1925) (with live 

accompaniment by Neil Brand), Gilbert 

Gunn's Valley of Song (1953) and Pen 

Tennyson's Proud Valley (1939). Paul 

Shallcross illustrated the creation of 

accompaniment for silent films in relation 

to Steamboat Bill Junior (Charles 

Riesner, 1928). Among other live 

performances were recitals by Robin Huw 

Bowen on the triple harp and Ceri Rhys 

Matthews on the pipes, and a lecture by 

Rhian Davies on the composer Morfydd 

Llwyn Owen. 

A day to remember was 9 April, when an 

exhibition of photographs taken by Chuck 

Rappoport in the weeks and months 

following the Aberfan disaster of 1966, 

Aberfan: the days after, was opened.

exhibition 

These poignant yet triumphant 

photographs inspired an exceptional 

response from visitors, and the local 

community at Aberfan gave its full 

support. A book was published by 

Parthian Books to accompany the 

exhibition. The major summer exhibition 

was different in character: Encore! 

depicted various aspects of the Welsh 

musical tradition, with sponsorship from 

Sain and Cerdd Ystwyth, Aberystwyth. It 

was a particular pleasure to be able to 

display the Robert ap Huw manuscript, on 

loan from the British Library: the 

manuscript formed a focus for a weekend 

conference organised by the Welsh Music 

Institute, University of Wales Bangor. The 

centenary of the birth of the actor Emlyn 

Williams was celebrated in the display All 

the World's a Stage, which included a 

variety of items celebrating his 

contribution and that of others to the 

world of theatre and film. His films The

The artists of Plas Lluest 

Last Days of Dolwyn (1949) and Friday 

the Thirteenth (1933) were also shown. 

There was great enthusiasm for 

exhibitions of paintings by Keith Bowen 

and Glyn Morgan and the Contemporary 

Art Society of Wales, as well as for a 

selection of the wartime cartoons of 

Illingworth: 

http://www.llgc.org.uk/illingworth/ 

We also co-operated with other 

organisations to mount exhibitions and 

display items from the Library's 

collections, and the Library's presence at 

the Urdd Eisteddfod, The National 

Eisteddfod and the Royal Welsh Show, as 

well as the outreach meeting at 

Carmarthen, elicited an enthusiastic 

response. Perhaps the most notable 

partnership of the year was that of the 

Library with Plas Lluest, which provides 

services to those who have special 

educational needs. An exhibition of work 

by Lluest artists, under the title Aber in 

summer! was mounted with support from 

Prospects and Mencap. 

Also worthy of note is that the Drwm and 

adjacent facilities have become very 

popular as venues for conferences and 

meetings of organisations, groups and 

societies from outside the Library, so 

adding a new and important dimension to 

our service to the public.

Photographers from all parts of Wales and 

beyond came to LENS, the Festival of 

Welsh Photography, held at the Library on 

29 October. The programme included 

presentations about their work by the 

well-known photographers Rhodri Jones 

and Marian Delyth and members of staff 

discussed some of the Library's more 

interesting collections. Among those 

attracted to this successful occasion was 

the world famous photographer Phillip 

Jones-Griffiths. It is hoped that this 

festival will become a regular event in the 

Library's calendar. 

T h e i r P a s t Yo u r F u t u r e 

During the year the Library co-operated 

with the Imperial War Museum (IWM) and 

the Big Lottery Fund on the 'Their Past

A new departure for the Library was a joint 

project with Ysgol Gymraeg Aberystwyth, 

with financial support from Cywaith 

Cymru, to appoint an artist in residence, 

Christine Mills. School pupils were 

encouraged to create new art work 

inspired by themes based on the Library's 

building and collections. Christine also cooperated 

with the author Caryl Lewis and 

visited other schools. 

The LENS festival, October 2005 

ordinated a number of exhibitions and 

other activities marking the 60th 

anniversary of the end of the Second 

World War. The IWM travelling exhibition 

visited eight centres throughout Wales, 

and it completed its tour at the Library in 

March. 3,041 visitors were attracted to the 

exhibition, including 699 school pupils, 60 

teachers and many ex-servicemen and 

women, who also took part in related 

activities. The Library co-operated 

successfully with Ceredigion Archives, 

Ceredigion Library and Ceredigion 

Museum. 

The Education Service took a leading role 

in the organisation of The Big Draw, an art 

competition for people of all ages and 

backgrounds. A selection of the 

prizewinning entries was displayed at the 

Library, which was also the venue for the 

official award ceremony on 19 November. 

In January, as part of the Library's Santes 

Dwynwen open day, a new area, Hafan, 

was opened under the aegis of the 

Education Service. Hafan has been 

created for the use of visitors in order to 

display materials relating to the history of 

The Library is responsible for two longerterm 

ventures, one a programme to 

digitise 6,500 images of the Second World 

War period from the Geoff Charles 

collection, the other a programme by 

Culturenet Cymru to digitise items from 

the War years which are still in private 

hands. An attractive pack for schools will 

be re-published for distribution to all 

primary schools in Wales. This 

programme records the recollections and 

personal histories which coincide with 

those items. Both programmes will create 

websites.

T h e L i b r a r y a n d i t s u s e r s 

A comprehensive survey of opinion 

among academic and library staff in higher 

education institutions was organised by 

the Wales Higher Education Libraries 

Forum (WHELF). This resulted in a full 

report which suggested numerous ways 

of raising awareness of the Library and its 

services within the sector. The 

recommendations of the report will be 

implemented over the next few years. 

An internal task force, chaired by the 

Librarian, was established to consider 

how the Library can determine the 

opinions of users and non-users and 

respond better to their needs. The report 

produced indicated that more efficient use 

should be made of questionnaires and the 

information gathered through them, and 

that other mechanisms of information 

gathering should be considered. 

An important step forward was the 

formation of an advisory group on ethnic 

issues. The group will meet twice yearly 

and will take advice from experts in the 

field to assist the Library in raising 

awareness of its collections and services 

among ethnic communities in Wales. 

The Library decided to prepare an 

application for Charter Mark, which 

acknowledges standards of service in 

public sector organisations. An internal 

task force has been formed to co-ordinate 

the work of preparing an application and 

collecting together the necessary 

supporting evidence.

inaugurated for family history and 

electronic resources. Between January 

and March 2006 96 readers availed 

themselves of this opportunity, and the 

programme’s success has led to its 

establishment as a permanent service on

preservation copies of U-matic video 

material continued, and over 900 tapes 

were completed. 

The Screen and Sound Archive organised 

55 events and showings, 32 of them in the 

Drwm and the remainder outside the 

Library, including community showings in 

co-operation with Age Concern 

Ceredigion. The Jerry the Troublesome 

Tyke series was shown in Italy and at the 

London Film Festival, and the Archive cooperated 

with BBC Wales on a series of 

community events, with Cyfrwng at its 

annual conference, and with the 

organisers of the Ffresh Festival and the 

Cardiff International Film Festival. In 

addition, the Archive supported the 

Library's own exhibitions and events 

throughout the year, and supplied 

audiovisual resources for a large number 

of meetings and conferences.

Culturenet Cymru Limited, a private 

company limited by guarantee, 

specialising in making available cultural 

materials in digitised format. On 1 June 

2005 the Library became the sole member 

of the company and appointed the 

Directors of Corporate Services, Finance 

and Collection Services as Directors (with 

the latter becoming Chairman). Reduced 

government funding for the operation 

necessitated a slimmed down staffing 

structure and a new focussed vision for 

the future with concentration on

The ALARM project (Administrative,

training in records management and 

legislative compliance to SMEs (Small and 

Medium Enterprises) in Ceredigion, is now 

in its second year. Twelve SMEs in the 

north of the county have received training 

so far. The project receives 43% of its 

funding from the Welsh European Funding 

Office, the body responsible for the 

implementation of Structural Funds in 

Wales on behalf of the Welsh Assembly 

Government. 

Bet Davis of Ohio with the President 

involve making available on the World 

Wide Web digital images of all the material 

relevant to Wales and the Welsh in Ohio 

which is held at the Library. The collection 

includes significant material relevant to the 

history of emigration from Wales to Ohio. 

The website will be an important 

academic research tool but will also be 

useful to anyone with a more general 

interest in this aspect of Ohio’s history.

body and significant employer. With the 

assistance of expert advice it has taken 

steps to enable achievement of the Green 

Dragon Level 2 standard by the end of 

2006. The Director of Corporate Services 

is the champion for these issues at Senior 

Management Team level: he chairs an 

inter-departmental working group which 

focuses on developing and achieving the 

related action plan. A survey by the 

Carbon Trust has been completed: the 

recommendations will improve the 

efficiency of library equipment and reduce 

carbon emissions. An initial waste survey 

has also been undertaken. 

B u i l d i n g F a c i l i t i e s 

Significant works were completed outside 

the building. A new car park extension 

was created and extra parking spaces 

provided for staff at the rear. The main 

drive and path were also refurbished and 

resurfaced, so that the initial impression of 

the Library has been significantly 

enhanced. Replacement of the South 

block fenestration and refurbishment of 

the front steps were also begun. 

M a k i n g t h e C o n n e c t i o n s 

The Library has engaged fully in the spirit 

of the Making the Connections agenda of 

the Welsh Assembly Government, 

principally in partnership with National 

Museum Wales. A large number of studies 

have been undertaken of areas of 

operation with potential for co-operation 

on different levels, and several of these 

will be pursued further. A joint tender was 

arranged for provision of legal services 

which produced identifiable savings. The 

Library is engaged at a local level in 

discussions with other bodies in the 

Aberystwyth area on joint purchasing 

opportunities and is a partner with 

University of Wales Lampeter in a project 

financed by the Making the Connections 

Improvement Fund.

Remit Letter Targets 2005 – 2006 

These targets were set for the Library in the Remit Letter received from the Minister for Culture, the Welsh Language and Sport 

Target 

1. Plan for and procure a new computer 

system for managing all aspects of the 

Library’s collections, working in close 

collaboration with the Welsh Assembly 

Government and CyMAL to ensure that 

the new system has clear links to the 

public library sector in Wales – by 

January 2006 

2. Develop the Library’s digitisation 

programme, especially by 

implementing the revised Digitisation 

Strategy and incorporating by June 

2005 the work and resources of 

Culturenet Cymru 

Achievement 

A contract for supply of a new computer system was awarded in 

October 2005. Implementation was begun with installation of 

hardware and initial software and testing of data migration and 

some system functionality 

The revised Digitisation Strategy was approved by the Council on 

23 September 2005 

The Library became the sole member of Culturenet Cymru Ltd and 

appointed a new Board of Directors on 1 June 2005 

3. Develop and increase coverage of 

Wales on the Web by 50% and provide 

improved metadata in Welsh and 

English by March 2006 

A report on metadata standards was completed and used to assist 

in the work of preparing the data for migration to the Library’s new 

system (see 1 above) 

Wales on the Web visitor numbers increased from 40,000 a month 

(November 2004) to 87,740 (November 2005) and the total number

4. Take a lead in, and work in 

partnership with, the National Museum 

and Galleries of Wales and the Arts 

Council of Wales to examine the 

potential for a National Digital Gallery of 

the Visual Arts: define the terms of 

reference for a scoping study by May 

2005 and complete the scoping study 

and identify next steps by the end of 

September 2005 

5. Implement the first stages of the 

Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003 

A report detailing the conclusions of a Scoping Study examining 

the potential for a National Digital Gallery of the Visual Arts was 

submitted to the Welsh Assembly Government on 26 September 

2005 

The Library and the British Library have held in depth discussions 

on the organisation and governance of a shared technical 

infrastructure for legal deposit and a Memorandum of Agreement 

will be drawn up to confirm arrangements

discussions on Processes and Protocols 

6. Complete modernisation of the 

Library’s system of governance 

The draft of a new Charter was completed, approved by the Court, 

and presented to the Privy Council 

The process of moving to new membership arrangements will begin 

in 2006/7 

7. Develop projects that will result in the 

enhancement of Gathering the Jewels 

and enrich the information on existing 

records

This summary financial statement is 

extracted from the full accounts and does 

not contain sufficient information to allow 

for a full understanding of the results and 

state of affairs of The National Library of 

Wales. For further information the full 

accounts and the auditors’ report on 

those accounts should be consulted. A 

copy of the audited accounts, which 

contain the detailed information required 

by law, Treasury guidance and best 

practice, can be obtained free of charge 

from the Director of Finance at the Library. 

S t a t u t o r y B a c k g r o u n d 

The National Library of Wales was 

founded by Royal Charter of Incorporation 

granted on 19 March 1907 (and 

Supplemental Charter with further 

provisions for constitution and 

government on 5 September 1911). A 

further Supplemental Charter was granted 

on 27 April 1978. During 2005/2006 it was 

funded predominantly from Government 

grants provided through the National 

Assembly for Wales. These accounts 

have been prepared in accordance with 

the Direction made by the National 

Assembly for Wales with the approval of 

the Treasury under Section 9 (4) of the 

Museums and Galleries Act 1992. A copy 

of the Direction is available from the 

Director of Finance. 

The Library is one of six legal deposit 

libraries in the United Kingdom and 

Ireland. It has been approved as a 

repository for memorial records by the 

Master of the Rolls in 1926; for the 

Archives of the Church in Wales, 

deposited in 1934, and the Records of the 

Church in Wales, deposited in 1944. By 

direction of the Probate Division the 

Ecclesiastical Probate Records were 

transferred to the Library in 1945. In 1960 

it was appointed a repository for certain 

records under the Public Records Act 

1958. Schedule 4 to the Government of 

Wales Act 1998 names The National 

Library of Wales as a body that may only 

gain functions and only with consent. 

O b j e c t s 

The principal objects of the Library are the 

collection, preservation and maintenance 

of printed, graphic and audio-visual 

material and manuscripts and records 

relating to the Welsh and Celtic peoples, 

and materials for the furtherance of higher 

education and literary and scientific 

research, as laid down within the Objects 

of the Library in its Royal Charters. As 

such they are regarded as inalienable and 

primarily comprise books, manuscripts, 

maps, paintings and sound and moving 

image material which have been collected 

since the Library’s foundation. The Library 

has over 4,000,000 items in its collection 

dating from the 12th century. The public 

has access to these collections. 

C h a r i t y 

The Library is a registered charity, charity 

no. 525775, VAT no. 122 1209 32, under 

the name of The National Library of Wales. 

The address is Penglais, Aberystwyth, 

Ceredigion SY23 3BU. 

22

Council members receive no remuneration 

for their services. A register of interests of 

all Council members is maintained at The 

National Library of Wales Aberystwyth. 

Management Team 

The day to day executive management of 

the Library is conducted by a 

Management Team, whose members are 

noted on page 18 of this Annual Report. 

Details of the Management Team salaries 

are available in the full Audited Accounts. 

The Chief Executive's remuneration for 

year ending 31 March 2006 was £78,254. 

Results and Appropriations 

The accounts are prepared under Section 

9(4) of the Museums & Galleries Act 1992 

in a form directed by the National 

Assembly for Wales with the approval of 

the Treasury. The Library's consolidated 

net incoming resources for the financial 

year were £0.985m (2004-05 £0.681m). 

The Library's incoming resources totalled 

£12.754m (2004-05 £12.298m) and total 

resources expended before notional costs 

were £11.769m (2004-05 £11.617m). 

Fund balances at 31 March 2006 stood at
