Digitisation Project

Steady progress is being made on digitising some 300 photos in the society's archive, with a view to making images more accessible and conserving the originals. The process also enables us to acquire a good quality reproduction, in cases where owners wish to retain the original photo, but allow access on a 'copy and return' basis.



Guest and Message Board

A new section has now been added to the website. If you have any questions relating to the Dulais valley history or researching your ancestors from the valley, please place your request on the message board. Alternatively if you just want to sign the guestbook you are very welcome to do so.
