TitleCorrespondence bearing on the affairs of the Ancient Mons. Board, ranging from 1934, when J.E. Lloyd became Chairman of the Commission for Wales, till 1947 and his presiding over the Aberystwyth meeting on May 10.
DescriptionLetters abound from various officials of the Board, notably O'Neil, Hemp, and (later) Raleigh Radford, putting all sorts of queries relating to the ancient personalities and archaelogical sites of Wales - this was especially the ease when Hemp was preparing his classic volume on Anglesey, and when he and Radford were laying the foundations of the expected volume on Caernarvonshire (incidentally, considerable interest attaches to nos. 93 - 100, and also nos. 144, 150, 151, which contain reviews of the Anglesey vol. pub. in 1937, the critical observations of Dr Peate in the Trans. Angl. Antiq. Soc. of 1939, and the acid observations of W.J. Hemp upon Peate's strictures).
Good examples of J.E.Lloyd.'s answers were his opinion of the term Roman Camp at Bangor (no. 52), his emphasis on the paucity of mediaeval references to Dolbadarn (no. 77), and his account of the Dolbenmaen boundaries (no. 123). Much of the remaining papers relate to arrangements of meetings, to the accession of new members (see reference to Sir Ifor Williams, no. 20), to interim reports from the Secretary during the barren war years, and to the new energies of the period following the termination of the struggle
