TRAP

The Welsh Railways Research Circle was a founder member of the 'Tracking Railway Archives Project' (TRAP) consortium in 2000 and was involved in its successful project with the then Public Records Office’s national ‘Access to Archives’ (A2A) initiative. At the end of March 2008, TRAP - the Tracking Railway Archives Project - was wound up as a consortium and became part of the Railway & Canal Historical Society, essentially as one of that society’s Special Interest Groups. Participation in TRAP’s activities is welcomed from all-comers; for more information log on to www.trap.org.uk

Railway Librarians Association

The Circle was a member of the Railway Librarians Association (RLA), which existed to promote the exchange of railway information between groups and societies. That group has recently been reincarnated as an e-group for ‘Railway Librarians and Archivists’; the group initials remain the same! Its aims remain the same, too - for more detail visit www.yahoogroups.com and search for RLA-Group.
