VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: National Library of Wales' digitisation programme

The fruit of the National Library of Wales' digitisation programme has come on-line. The items published on the website reflect the diverse nature of the collections held by the institution.

Among the highlights are: photographs by Welsh photographers John Thomas (1838-1905) and Geoff Charles (1909-2002) and America Carleton E. Watkins (1829-1916); manuscripts, including a Latin version of the
native Welsh law which is set apart from other Welsh law books by a series of illustrations in the text; early charts of the Welsh coastline by Lewis Morris (1701-1765); a searchable database of the Library's collection of framed works of art; and archive material including a fascinating population survey of the Welsh diocese of St. Asaph undertaken in the 1680s.

Future plans include a presentation of the first Welsh-language printed book, the earliest complete Welsh-language manuscript and the political cartoons of Leslie Illingworth (1909-1979). Also included on the site is the Library's digitisation strategy.
