| Services
to Members |
|
| With
hundreds of members around the country and abroad, there will always be
someone available to help with any searches or to advise on the best way
to proceed with your research, so Joining
the Circle can save much time and effort. In addition,
there are other facilities and events available to members..... |
|
| Our main forum for our members to
meet and discuss the railways of Wales is at our series of annual Events. |
|
| Members may also access our extensive
holdings of period photographs, drawings, property plans and maps which
are available at our Research
Centre in Rhiwderin
near Newport. Many of these records have been scanned and can be viewed
or downloaded digitally.
A guide to sources of Welsh-subject photographs
is published as a data sheet. |
|
| The Circle publishes a quarterly Newsletter
which gives details of Winter meetings, Summer walks, field trips and other
events. It is the main vehicle through which Circle business is conducted
and members can maintain contact with others. Space is always found in
the Newsletter for publishing members' queries and findings. |
|
 The
Circle journal, The Welsh
Railways Archive, has been published every six months
since 1990. Copies of the magazine are lodged with a number of libraries
and public bodies in Wales, and also at the British Library. Articles and
contributions to the Archive are mainly from the Circle membership, so
there is thus the opportunity to present your researches in print to a
wider audience but in a relatively informal manner. |
|
| New members receive a
copy of the newly revised and updated Handbook
which provides an initial guide to sources of information within the Circle
about every railway Company in Wales and also lists many of the sources
available elsewhere. |
|
|
| |
| A range of books on Welsh industrial
and railway subjects, mainly from harder-to-find sources, is available
to members, many at a discount on published prices.
The Circle itself has also published a series of
outstanding books on the railways of Wales.
Details may be found on the Sales
page. |
