Happy Spring!
Many thanks to Dr. Calista Williams, who has written a splendid essay about the National Library of Wales (NLW) for LHRT News and Notes, offering discoveries from her recently completed thesis:

Of special note, she highlights how the NLW interacted with the political and social movements of its time.
Please enjoy this library historiography, and consider submitting a post about your library’s history. I know many graduate students out there are finishing papers this time of year, please consider submitting your work:
