Radnorshire Society Archives
The Society’s archive contains a wide range of documents, most of which have been donated to the Society. They include the notebooks of some of the founder members of the Society, as well as manuscripts, wills, letters, press cuttings, photographs and scrapbooks.
A project is under way to digitalise the existing indices and catalogues of the archive collections and to extend them. These will be made available through this website as the project progresses.
