I want to research about various National Eisteddfodau, is any relevant information held in the National Library?
Ateb
Various sources are held in the National Library that may be useful for research on the National Eisteddfodau.
The first place to begin the research is to search the full online catalogue, using ‘National Eisteddfod’ or ‘Eisteddfod Genedlaethol’ as keywords:

The Geoff Charles Photographic collection contains a great number of photographs of various Eisteddfodau and this can be searched on our main catalogue.
You may wish to use newspapers as other relevant sources. The ‘Brython’ in particular records a great deal of information relating to the National Eisteddfod of that year.
Additionally, community newspapers may be a useful source of information and a list of the Library’s holdings can be seen on the following webpage:
