Evening wind-down time has recently consisted of cataloguing the family archives - a long overdue job. Can't stop looking at this pic of my 2 x great grandfather. My strange little brain has decided he looks like an early 20th cent 'gangster'. Is it the rifle or the dog that gives off those vibes?

ISWE@ystadaucymru.bsky.social · last yr.Huge thanks to Shan Robinson for introducing me to the Rare Books Room at Bangor University this afternoon. What a wonderful experience! Found so many interesting books that were previously in Welsh country house libraries. Thinking about how we can make use of this resource for teaching & research.
