PublicationsEach year the society publishes its journal, Morgannwg. First published in 1957, it has made a major contribution to the understanding of the history of Glamorgan. Each issue contains several articles, and contributors include many well-known academics and local historians, all with an in-depth knowledge of their subject. In addition to the main articles, regular features include accounts of recent archaeological discoveries, news from the Glamorgan Archives in Cardiff and the West Glamorgan Archive Service and Richard Burton Archives in Swansea, book reviews, and shorter articles under the heading Notes & Queries. The full text of all earlier volumes of Morgannwg from volume 1 (1957) to volume 48 (2004) is freely available on the Welsh Journals Online website. To help you find Morgannwg articles online, we have put together a chronological list of articles and also a list in alphabetical order by author's name, with links to the online versions of the articles. Copies of Morgannwg from 2005 to date can be ordered by post. The articles in each journal are listed below.
