User:Dyn bach o Fangor

My name is Dafydd Tudur and I was born in Cardiff, Wales, in 1980. I moved to Bangor in 1994 and studied for a BA in History at Aberystwyth between 1998 and 2001. I returned to Bangor to study for my PhD on the life, work and thought of Michael D. Jones. Having completed my thesis in 2006, I am now based at Aberystwyth and working for Culturenet Cymru at The National Library of Wales.

I am interested in all things Welsh, but particularly in the history of modern Wales.

Funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, Culturenet Cymru Ltd. works in partnership with museums, archives and libraries, as well as schools and community groups, throughout Wales to deliver a range of innovative digitisation projects.

I am project officer and editor of Gathering the Jewels, Culturenet Cymru's flagship project. Since the launch of the project in 2001, over 130 museums, libraries and archives from all over Wales have contributed more than 26,000 digital images to the website, which now receives approximately 9.5 million page requests a year.

I have also been working on Glaniad, a trilingual website that tells the story of the Welsh Settlements in Patagonia. Glaniad contains over 2,000 images of letters, photographs, pamphlets and artefacts from museums in Wales and Argentina.
