Welsh Collection at Oswestry Library

The Welsh collection forms part of Oswestry Library's Local History Collection. It reflects the fact that for many residents of rural Powys and to a lesser extent, parts of Denbighshire and Wrexham, Oswestry is their local library. Built up over the past century by those interested in preserving information about Oswestry's hinterland, the core bookstock consists of around 1300 volumes relating to Wales and the Welsh borders. The emphasis is on railways, topography, mining, history and religion.

In addition there are complete or near complete runs of journals and magazines such as:

• Archaeologia Cambrensis
• Montgomeryshire Collections
• Country Quest
• Welsh History Review
• Denbighshire Historical Society Transactions
• Tanat Chronicle

There are also maps, plans and printed ephemera.

For further information or to visit the collection call in or contact Oswestry Library.
