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.

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.

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.

Century, relate to the lands of the
barons of Dynevor in counties
Carmarthen, Glamorgan and
Pembroke.
• A bronze head of Professor Gwyn
Thomas, Bangor, (b. 1936), by the

acquisition, cataloguing, access to, and
preservation of, all kinds of material in our
collections. It will take the place of several
stand alone systems in use at present.
The system will also provide a basis for a

services for Welsh libraries in co-operation
with CyMAL.

A pilot programme of reader surgeries, in
which a member of staff offers training
and one-to-one guidance to readers was
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
Wednesday afternoons.

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

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

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.

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.
