Glamorgan Archives has launched a brand new online catalogue, making it easy for people to access details of records at the touch of a button.
Canfod, the Glamorgan Archives online catalogue, contains over 163,000 entries detailing the holdings of Glamorgan Archives, which span over 800 years of Glamorgan history.
For the first time this catalogue is now available to search anywhere in the world. To access Canfod visit www.glamarchives.gov.uk.
The catalogue can assist those interested in tracing their family tree, help to uncover the history of your house, help you to discover more about your town or village, or assist with school, college or university project research.
The material described in Canfod is available to view in the public searchroom at Glamorgan Archives in Leckwith, Cardiff.
