Adolygiad Blynyddol / Annual Review 2010—2011
Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru
The National Library of Wales
Cael chwarae mewn lle mor sanctaidd. Mae e’n fwy sanctaidd nag
Eglwys Gadeiriol TYDDEWI. Yr holl vibes sydd yna, yr holl lyfrau…
ac ysbrydion yr holl SGRIFENWYR a beirdd sydd yna. Mae yna wicked
vibes yn y Llyfrgell ch’mod.
To perform in such a holy place. It’s more holy than the CATHEDRAL
Church of St. David’s. All those vibes that are there, all those books…
and the ghosts of all those writers and poets that are there. There
are wicked vibes at the Library you know.

Y Llywydd gyda Matthew Rhys
The President with Matthew Rhys
Y mae’n bleser gennyf gyflwyno’r Adolygiad Blynyddol hwn ichwi.
Unwaith eto eleni y mae’r Llyfrgell wedi cymryd camau breision i wireddu amcanion ei Strategaeth,
Llunio’r Dyfodol. Pwysleisir trwy’r Adolygiad hwn fel y mae’r sefydliad yn parhau i ddatblygu ei
weledigaeth o fod ymhlith llyfrgelloedd mwyaf blaengar y byd heb ddibrisio’r swyddogaethau craidd
sy’n hanfodol i’w bywyd.
Nodwn yma’r amcanion hynny sy’n ganolog i weithgareddau’r Llyfrgell ac i strategaethau a
blaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru, sy’n cyllido’n gweithgareddau, a dangoswn fel yr ydym yn
cyfrannu at gyflawni’r amcanion hynny. Bu ewyllys da Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystod y flwyddyn
a chefnogaeth y Gweinidog dros Dreftadaeth, Alun Ffred Jones AC, yn hynod werthfawr. Fe’n
galluogwyd ni, drwy gefnogaeth ein Llywodraeth, i barhau i ddatblygu’r llyfrgell ddigidol ar-lein,
i agor ein casgliadau a’n gwasanaethau i fwy o bobl, ac i grwpiau ehangach o bobl.
Ni fu’r flwyddyn heb ei sialensau a gorfu i’r Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr a’r Llyfrgellydd a’i staff wneud
rhai penderfyniadau poenus ac anodd. Serch hynny, er i ni grybwyll rhai o’r materion hynny a fu’n
llyffethair i gyflawni ein hamcanion, y mae’r Adolygiad hwn yn adroddiad cadarnhaol iawn sydd nid
yn unig yn cofnodi gweithgarwch blwyddyn, ond hefyd yn edrych ymlaen at y dyfodol.

Ymhlith y cynlluniau mwyaf effeithiol ac effeithlon o ran wynebu’r her o geisio ymdopi â’r gostyngiad
yn ein hincwm oedd mabwysiadu’r Rhaglen Trawsnewid Busnes gan Fwrdd yr Ymddiriedolwyr.
Rhaglen ydyw ar gyfer y cyfnod 2011/12-2013/14. Rhagwelid y byddid yn diffinio prosesau a
threfniadaethau busnes mwy darbodus ac yn gweithredu llifau gwaith gwell a fyddai, yn eu tro, yn
cynyddu effeithlonrwydd.
Strategaeth arall sy’n werth ei chrybwyll ac a fabwysiadwyd gan y Bwrdd eleni yw’r Strategaeth
Gwirfoddoli. Rhagwelir y bydd manteision mawr yn deillio o’r cyfle hwn a roddir i’r cyhoedd
gyfrannu o’u doniau a’u hamser i waith y Llyfrgell. Y mae cynhwysiad cymdeithasol yn rhywbeth y
mae’r Llyfrgell yn awyddus iawn i’w hyrwyddo a bydd y Strategaeth hon yn gyfle ac yn gyfrwng i’r
sefydliad fedru gwneud hynny.
Un o’r prosiectau cyffrous hynny y bu i mi’n bersonol ymwneud â hi yn ystod y flwyddyn oedd
honno mewn perthynas ag archifau ITV. Wrth i’r flwyddyn ddod tua’i therfyn, ac yn dilyn misoedd o
drafodaethau manwl a gofalus, braf oedd gallu drafftio Memorandwm o Gyd-ddealltwriaeth rhwng
y Llyfrgell ac ITV mewn perthynas â’r bwriad i symud rhan sylweddol o archif ITV Cymru o’i
chartref presennol yng Nghaerdydd i’r Llyfrgell. Casgliad sylweddol o werth diwylliannol mawr yw’r
archif hon, sy’n dyddio’n ôl i oes gynharaf darlledu masnachol yng Nghymru yn y 1950au. Eto, heb
gefnogaeth ariannol, ymarferol y Gweinidog dros Dreftadaeth, Alun Ffred Jones, y mae’n bosib na
fyddai’r trafodaethau wedi dwyn ffrwyth o gwbl.
Mater arall o bwysigrwydd mawr i mi’n bersonol ac i’r Llyfrgell yn ogystal yw dyfodol ffotograffau
Philip Jones Griffiths a cheisio cartref parhaol iddynt. Yn ystod y flwyddyn fe gafwyd sawl trafodaeth
ddiddorol a chadarnhaol ag aelodau o deulu’r gŵr arbennig hwn ynghylch diogelu’r casgliad a chanfod
cartref parhaol iddynt. Afraid dweud bod y casgliad hwn o ffotograffau, gan un o ffotograffwyr
mwyaf yr ugeinfed ganrif, o bwysigrwydd rhyngwladol. Hyderaf y gwelwn y trafodaethau’n arwain at
ddiogelu’r casgliad.
Rhaid crybwyll yn ogystal Lyfr Aneirin. Dan gytundeb â Chyngor Dinas Caerdydd, Llywodraeth
Cymru, a’r Llyfrgell fe symudwyd Llyfr Aneirin, un o’r llawysgrifau allweddol o’r oesoedd canol,
ar fenthyg tymor hir, o’i gartref yng Nghaerdydd i’r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol a hynny oherwydd bod
y cyfleusterau angenrheidiol ar gael yma ar ei gyfer.
Mynychais nifer o ddigwyddiadau diddorol a gwerth chweil yn ystod y flwyddyn. Braf oedd gallu
mynd â’n rhaglen ymestyn i gylch Wrecsam eleni a derbyn croeso twymgalon yno gan ein partneriaid
a thrigolion y dref a’r bröydd cyfagos. Cafwyd cyfleoedd gwerthfawr i weithio gydag ysgolion a
llyfrgell a gwasanaethau eraill y cyngor a rhannu gyda hwy gyfoeth ein casgliadau a’n gwasanaethau.
Roedd y rhaglen yn llwyddiant ysgubol a mawr yw ein diolch i bobl Wrecsam am ein croesawu.
Yn yr Adolygiad hwn nodir enghreifftiau o gydweithio â chyrff ac unigolion, a gwerthfawrogwyd
parodrwydd y rheini i drafod ac i geisio datblygu ar y cyd ffyrdd mwy effeithiol o gyflawni’n
gwasanaethau. Wrth gyflwyno’r Adolygiad hwn ar ddiwedd fy nghyfnod fel Llywydd yr wyf yn
sicr fod gan y Llyfrgell eto gyfraniad mawr i’w wneud nid yn unig i fywyd y genedl ond hefyd
i’r byd.

It is my pleasure to present this Annual Review to you.
This year, the Library has continued to more forward in fulfilment of the aims of its Strategy, Shaping
the Future. Throughout this Review it is emphasised how the organisation continues to develop its
vision of being among the most innovative libraries in the world without compromising the core
functions which are the essence of its life.
We describe here those aims which are central to the Library’s activities and to the strategies and
priorities of the Welsh Government, which funds our activities, and we show how we contribute to
the realisation of those aims. The goodwill of the Welsh Government during the year and the support
of the Minister for Heritage, Alun Ffred Jones AM, were extremely valuable. With the support of
the Government we were able to continue to develop the online digital library, and to open up our
collections and services to more people, and to a broader range of people.
The year was not without its challenges and the Board of Trustees and the Librarian and his staff
had to take some painful and difficult decisions. Even so, although we mention some of those issues
that hindered the achievement of our aims, this Review is a very positive report which not only
records the activity of a year, but also looks forward to the future.

Among the most effective and efficient steps taken to face the challenge of coping with the
reduction in our income was the adoption by the Board of Trustees of the Business Transformation
Programme. It is a programme for the period 2011/12–2013/14. It anticipates defining more
economical business processes and arrangements and the implementation of better workflows that
will, in turn, increase efficiency.
Another strategy worthy of mention which was adopted by the Board this year is the Volunteering
Strategy. We foresee significant advantages accruing from this opportunity afforded to the public
to give of their talents and time to the Library’s work. Social inclusion is something that the Library
is very eager to promote and this Strategy will be an opportunity and a vehicle for the organisation
to do so.
One of the exciting projects which I was involved with during the year was in relation to the ITV
archives. As the year drew to a close, and following months of detailed and careful discussions,
it was good to be able to draft a Memorandum of Understanding between the Library and ITV
confirming the intention to transfer a significant part of the archive of ITV Wales from its present
home in Cardiff to the Library. This archive, which dates back to the early days of commercial
broadcasting in Wales in the 1950s, is a substantial collection of great cultural value. Again, without
the financial and practical support of the Minister for Heritage, Alun Ffred Jones, the discussions
might not have borne fruit at all.
Another issue of great importance to me personally and to the Library is the future of the photographs
of Philip Jones Griffiths and the need for a permanent home for them. During the year there were
several interesting and positive discussions with members of the family of this remarkable man
concerning preserving the collection and finding it a permanent home. It goes without saying that
this collection of photographs, by one of the leading photographers of the twentieth century, is of
international importance. I very much hope we will see these discussions leading to the safeguarding
of the collection.
I must also mention the Book of Aneirin. By an agreement between Cardiff City Council, the Welsh
Government and the Library, the Book of Aneirin, one of the key medieval manuscripts, was
transferred on long term loan from its home in Cardiff to the National Library because the conditions
necessary for its preservation are to be found here.
I attended a number of interesting and worthwhile events during the year. It was good to take our
outreach programme to the Wrexham area this year and be warmly welcomed there by our partners
and the people of the town and surrounding area. There were valuable opportunities to work with
schools and the library and other council services and to share with them the wealth of our collections
and services. The programme was a huge success and we are very grateful to the people of Wrexham
for their welcome.
This Review reports instances of co-operation with organisations and individuals, and we much
appreciate their willingness to discuss and try to develop with us more effective ways of delivering our
services. In presenting this Review at the end of my term as President I am certain that the Library
still has a great contribution to make not only to the life of the nation but also to the world.

Does dim dwywaith nad oedd y flwyddyn 2010–11 yn un anodd i’r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol. Unwaith
eto roedd ein setliad ariannol gan Lywodraeth y Cynulliad yn dynn, a bu raid paratoi at doriadau yn
y gyllideb yn y flwyddyn ddilynol.
Golygai hyn fod angen ymdrechu eto i leihau ein gwariant a chynyddu ein hincwm – trwy adolygu
ein gweithgareddau, yn arbennig ein prosesau a’n gweithdrefnau, trwy ailstrwythuro ar ôl peidio â
llenwi swyddi gwag, trwy dorri gwariant mewn meysydd, fel ein gwasanaethau arlwyo, nad ydynt yn
allweddol i’n cenhadaeth, a thrwy chwilio am ffyrdd newydd o godi incwm ac arian. Mesur arbennig
o boenus i’r rhan fwyaf o staff y Llyfrgell fu’r angen i ychwanegu at eu cyfraniadau personol i gronfa
bensiwn y Llyfrgell ar adeg pan nad oedd modd codi lefel cyflogau.
Ac eto ar yr un pryd mae digonedd o ddatblygiadau cadarnhaol i sôn amdanynt, gan gynnwys:
—Cynnydd sylweddol yn ein gwaith digido, yn arbennig trwy’r cynllun mawr a ariennir gan
Lywodraeth Cymru, ‘Papurau Newydd a Chylchgronau Hanesyddol’, a thrwy ein cyfraniad
at ‘Casgliad y Werin’.
—Penodiad Lorna Hughes i’n Cadair mewn Casgliadau Digidol: swydd sy’n unigryw yn y byd,
hyd y gwyddom, ac a fydd yn cynyddu ein gallu i wneud ymchwil ymarferol mewn maes sy’n
hanfodol i’n dyfodol.
—Paratoi at gaffael dau gasgliad newydd o bwysigrwydd eithriadol.
—Gwaith ar y cyd â’r llyfrgelloedd hawlfraint eraill i baratoi at weithredu adnau cyfreithiol
electronig ym Mhrydain.
—Cytundeb ar Strategaeth newydd y Llyfrgell ar gyfer y tair blynedd i ddod, ynghyd â datblygu
polisïau newydd mewn meysydd penodol, er enghraifft ar wirfoddolwyr.
Fel ym mhob blwyddyn, gweledigaeth ac ymrwymiad staff y Llyfrgell sy’n bennaf gyfrifol am y
llwyddiant hwn, ond byddai’n deg nodi cyfraniadau Bwrdd a Chorff Ymgynghorol y Llyfrgell, y sawl
sy’n cefnogi’r sefydliad yn ffyddlon, a dau berson yn arbennig: Alun Ffred Jones AC, y cyn-Weinidog
dros Dreftadaeth, am ei gefnogaeth gyson a’i werthfawrogiad o genhadaeth y Llyfrgell, a’n Llywydd,
Dafydd Wigley – y Barwn Wigley o Gaernarfon erbyn hyn – am ei ymrwymiad mawr a’i egni aruthrol
wrth y llyw.

No one could deny that 2010–11was another difficult year for the National Library. The financial
settlement from the Assembly Government was again tight, and we were obliged to prepare for
reductions in our budgets in the following year.
The result was that we needed to put much effort into reducing our expenditure and increasing
our income – through reviewing our activities, especially our processes and workflows, through
restructuring following the freezing of empty posts, through reducing costs in areas like catering
facilities not critical to our mission, and through pursuing new means of income generation and
fundraising. It was especially painful for the majority of Library staff to have to increase their
personal contributions into the pension scheme at a time of static pay.
Nevertheless, there is no lack of positive developments to report, including:
11
—
—Substantial growth in our digitisation work, especially through the major project, funded by
the Welsh Government, ‘Historical Newspapers and Journals’, and our contributions to the
‘People’s Collection’.
—The appointment of Lorna Hughes to our new Chair of Digital Collections: a post that is, as
far as we know, unique in the world, and a way of increasing our capacity to conduct high-level
practical research in an area of crucial importance to our future.
—Preparations towards acquiring two new collections of exceptional importance.
—Joint work with the other legal deposit libraries towards implementing non-print electronic
deposit in the UK.
—Agreement on the Library’s new Strategy for the next three years, and the development of
new policies in specific areas, for example volunteering.
As always this success is attributable to the vision and commitment of the Library staff, but it is
important to note the work of the Library’s Board and Advisory Body and the many people and
organisations who have given us loyal support. Special mention should be made of two people:
Alun Ffred Jones AM, the former Minister for Heritage, for his consistent support and appreciation
of the Library’s mission, and our President, Dafydd Wigley – now Baron Wigley of Caernarfon –
who has led the National Library with unfailing commitment and energy.

Islwyn ar dramp
Islwyn the hitch-hiker
Cynhaliwyd yr ystod eang arferol o
arddangosfeydd yn y Llyfrgell yn ystod y
flwyddyn. Y datblygiad mwyaf arwyddocaol,
fodd bynnag, oedd lansio’r gyntaf ymhlith cyfres
o arddangosfeydd mawr thematig a fydd yn
cyflwyno’n casgliadau hynod mewn modd heriol
ac uchelgeisiol. Agorwyd Byd Bach: Teithio yng
Nghymru a thu hwnt yn swyddogol gan y Prif
Weinidog Carwyn Jones ym mis Hydref a bu’r
arddangosfa ar agor i’r cyhoedd tan fis Ebrill
2011. Prif ddelwedd eiconig yr arddangosfa a
fu’n destun sylw i’r cyfryngau oedd llun gan y
ffotograffydd Geoff Charles o Islwyn Roberts,
y ffawdheglwr o Lanbedr a fodiodd ei ffordd o
amgylch y byd yn y 1950au. Sbardunodd y llun
nifer fawr o aelodau o’r cyhoedd a gysylltodd â’r
Llyfrgell i rannu eu straeon am Islwyn yn ogystal
ag anfon llythyron a ffotograffau ohono atom.
The usual wide range of exhibitions was
mounted in the Library during the year. The
most significant development, however, was
the launch of the first in a series of large-scale
thematic exhibitions which will display the
rich collections in a challenging and ambitious
way. A Small World: Travel in Wales and beyond
was opened by First Minister Carwyn Jones
in October and the exhibition was open to the
public until April 2011. The main iconic image of
the exhibition was a picture by the photographer
Geoff Charles of Islwyn Roberts, the hitch-hiker
from Llanbedr who hitched his way around the
world in the 1950s. The picture prompted many
members of the public to contact the Library and
share stories about Islwyn as well as sending us
letters and photographs of him.
Yn yr arddangosfa gwelwyd eitemau amrywiol
o bob lliw a llun yn cynnwys llawysgrifau a
llyfrau prin, darluniau mewn sawl cyfrwng,
mapiau hynod, posteri a ffotograffau trawiadol.
Yn ogystal â hyn, daeth Oriel Gregynog yn fyw
ar ffurf cyfres o fodelau atyniadol a ddyluniwyd
yn arbennig ar gyfer yr arddangosfa ac a oedd
yn ymgorffori tair sinema er mwyn dangos
ffilmiau ac animeiddiadau o gasgliad yr Archif
Sgrin a Sain.
Mewn cydweithrediad â’r Gwasanaeth Addysg
cynhaliwyd cyfres o weithdai yn nhymor y
gwanwyn 2011 i ysgolion cynradd ac uwchradd
yn seiliedig ar yr arddangosfa.
I gyd-fynd â’r arddangosfa trefnwyd pecyn
atyniadol o ddigwyddiadau cyhoeddus oedd
yn gysylltiedig â’r thema o deithio, yn cynnwys
sgyrsiau awr ginio, dangosiadau o ffilmiau,
nosweithiau yng nghwmni rhai o sêr byd
ffilm a theledu a theithiau tywys o amgylch
Oriel Gregynog.
The exhibition contained a variety of items in
all shapes and sizes including manuscripts and
rare books; pictures in several media; unusual
maps; posters and striking photographs. In
addition, the Gregynog Gallery came to life
by means of a series of attractive models
specially designed for the exhibition and which
incorporated three cinemas for the screening of
films and animations from the collection of the
Screen and Sound Archive.
In association with the Education Service a series
of workshops for primary and secondary schools,
based on the exhibition, was held in the spring
term of 2011.
To accompany the exhibition an attractive
package of public events linked to the theme of
travel was organised, including lunchtime talks,
film screenings, evenings with film and TV stars
and guided tours of the Gregynog Gallery.

Dyma flwyddyn lawn bwrlwm o ran
digwyddiadau, rhai a gynhaliwyd yn y Llyfrgell
ei hun ac yn enw’r Llyfrgell mewn lleoliadau
eraill ar hyd a lled y wlad.
This was a lively year of events, held at
the Library itself and in the Library’s name at
other locations throughout the country.

Roedd y Drwm dan ei sang ar sawl achlysur,
wrth i nifer o enwogion o Gymru a thu hwnt
ymddangos mewn digwyddiadau gafaelgar
a phoblogaidd. Croesawyd Roy Hattersley,
Nick Barratt, Matthew Rhys, Jan Morris, Carol
Ann Duffy a Huw Edwards ymysg eraill, ac yn y
Drwm y cynhaliwyd ‘gig’ olaf Meic Stevens yng
Nghymru cyn iddo ymadael i fynd i Ganada.
Cymaint oedd edmygedd y canwr pop o’r
adeilad fel iddo nodi, ar gof a chadw, fod i’r lle
‘wicked vibe’. At hyn gwelwyd cynnydd amlwg
yn niferoedd mynychwyr ein digwyddiadau
rheolaidd a llwyddwyd i becynnu tymhorau o
weithgareddau thematig.
The Drwm was packed to capacity on several
occasions as a number of celebrities from
Wales and beyond appeared at exciting and
popular events. We welcomed among others
Roy Hattersley, Nick Barratt, Matthew Rhys,
Jan Morris, Carol Ann Duffy and Huw Edwards,
and the Drwm was the venue for the last gig by
Meic Stevens before his departure for Canada.
Such was the pop singer’s admiration for the
building that he memorably proclaimed it as
having a ‘wicked vibe’. In addition we witnessed
a significant growth in the number of people
attending our regular events and succeeded in
packaging seasons of thematic activities.
Datblygwyd partneriaeth newydd gyda Gŵyl
Lenyddol y Gelli, gyda’r Llyfrgell yn cynnal
digwyddiadau ar faes yr ŵyl honno a derbyn
llond bws o ymwelwyr o’r ŵyl i’r Llyfrgell i weld
ein llawysgrifau byd-enwog o waith Chaucer.
A new partnership with the Hay Festival of
Literature was established, with the Library
holding events at the Festival and welcoming
a busload of Festival visitors to the Library
to see our world-famous manuscript collection
of Chaucer’s work.
Unwaith eto eleni roedd gan y Llyfrgell
bresenoldeb amlwg mewn digwyddiadau
allanol (Eisteddfod yr Urdd a’r Eisteddfod
Genedlaethol, y Sioe Frenhinol a ffair hanes
teulu ‘Who do you think you are?’ yn Llundain).
At hyn cynhaliwyd nifer o weithgareddau yn
Wrecsam i gyd-fynd â’n rhaglen Estyn Allan
yn y fwrdeistref honno. Yn wir, o fis Mehefin
2011 ymlaen, bydd gan y Llyfrgell bresenoldeb
arddangos parhaol yn Amgueddfa Wrecsam, ar
y cyd ag Amgueddfa Cymru.
Again this year the Library had a significant
presence at external events (the Urdd Eisteddfod
and the National Eisteddfod, the Royal Welsh
Show and the ‘Who do you think you are?’ family
history fair in London). In addition a number of
activities were held in Wrexham to accompany
our Outreach programme in the borough.
Indeed, from June 2011 onwards the Library
will have a permanent exhibition presence at
Wrexham Museum, alongside National
Museum Wales.
O ran hyrwyddo digwyddiadau, y datblygiad
mwyaf arwyddocaol oedd y cynnydd amlwg
yn ein defnydd o dechnoleg gwe 2.0 fel arf
marchnata, a welodd drydar yn digwydd yn
ddyddiol, gan ein galluogi i gyfathrebu â’n
cynulleidfaoedd trwy ddull amgen.
The most significant development in the
promotion of events was the marked
increase in our use of Web 2.0 technology as
a marketing tool, with daily tweeting enabling
us to communicate with our audiences by
alternative means.
Ni allwn fyth orffwys ar ein rhwyfau!
Felly, beth sy’n digwydd?
We can’t afford to stand and stare!
So, what’s happening?

Digido
Digitisation
Yn ystod y flwyddyn cwblhawyd yn
llwyddiannus ddwy flynedd gyntaf cynllun
uchelgeisiol y Llyfrgell i ddigido’i holl ddaliadau
o newyddiaduron a chyfnodolion hanesyddol.
Mae penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i
fuddsoddi £2 filiwn o’r Gronfa Buddsoddi
Cyfalaf Strategol wedi galluogi’r Llyfrgell i greu’r
isadeiledd technegol cadarn sy’n angenrheidiol
i gynnal digido ar raddfa mor fawr, a hyd yma
sganiwyd dros filiwn o dudalennau. Mae’r
Llyfrgell hefyd wedi penodi contractiwr allanol
i ymgymryd â’r gwaith o Adnabod Nodau
Gweledol y papurau newydd ac wedi sefydlu
a dechrau gweithredu strategaeth glir i reoli
unrhyw Hawliau Eiddo Deallusol sy’n gysylltiedig
â’r casgliad hanesyddol. Fodd bynnag, daeth y
buddsoddiad ychwanegol hwn gan y Llywodraeth
i ben yn Ebrill 2011 ac mae’r Llyfrgell yn dal i
groesawu unrhyw gyfleoedd cydweithredol
neu gyfleoedd codi arian er mwyn cwblhau’r
prosiect a chyhoeddi’r casgliad digidol newydd
ar-lein o 2012.
The year saw the successful completion of
the first two years of the Library’s ambitious
plan to digitise all of its holdings of historical
newspapers and journals. The decision of the
Welsh Government to invest £2 million from
the Strategic Capital Investment Fund has
enabled the Library to build the robust technical
infrastructure required to support such largescale digitisation and over 1 million pages have
been scanned to date. The Library has also
appointed an external contractor to undertake
the Optical Character Recognition of the
newspaper element and has established and
begun to implement a clear strategy for the
management of any Intellectual Property Rights
associated with the historical collection. However,
this additional Government investment came to
an end in April 2011 and the Library continues
to welcome any fundraising or collaborative
opportunities to complete the project and publish
the new digital collection online from 2012.
Eleni mae’r Llyfrgell wedi bod yn cyfrannu
cynnwys digidol i Europeana trwy gyfrwng
prosiect sy’n seiliedig ar lyfrau lluniadu o’r
19eg ganrif. Mae Europeana yn tynnu at ei gilydd
gasgliadau o sefydliadau ar draws Ewrop gyfan,
ac nid yw cwblhau’r prosiect hwn ond megis
dechrau cyfres o gyfraniadau a fydd yn mynd
â chasgliadau digidol y Llyfrgell at gynulleidfa
Ewropeaidd ehangach.
This year the Library has been contributing
digitised content to Europeana with a project
based around 19th-century drawing volumes.
Europeana brings together collections from
institutions all over Europe, and the completion
of this project is just the beginning of a series of
contributions that will take the Library’s digitised
collections to a wider European audience.
Parhawyd ymdrechion y Llyfrgell i rannu
cynnyrch y rhaglen a’r prosiectau digido. Bu’r
Llyfrgell yn cydweithio â Chomisiwn Brenhinol
Henebion Cymru ac Amgueddfa Cymru i
ddarparu cynnwys ar gyfer gwefan Casgliad
y Werin Cymru a lansiwyd yn yr Eisteddfod
Genedlaethol ar ddechrau Awst 2010. Fel rhan
o’r gwaith hwnnw, cyfrannwyd deunydd graffigol
amrywiol o gasgliadau’r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol
gan gynnwys ffotograffau John Thomas,
P. B. Abery a Tirlun Cymru, sef casgliad y
Llyfrgell o brintiau topograffig.
The Library’s efforts to share the outputs
of the digitisation programme and projects
continued. The Library co-operated with the
Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical
Monuments of Wales and National Museum
Wales to provide content for the website of the
People’s Collection Wales which was launched
at the National Eisteddfod at the beginning of
August 2010. As part of that work, a variety
of graphic material was contributed from
the National Library’s collections, including
photographs by John Thomas and P. B. Abery
and Welsh Landscape, the Library’s collection
of topographic prints.
Yn ogystal â’r prosiectau digido mawr, mae’r
Llyfrgell wedi parhau i ddigido casgliadau
llai ac eitemau unigol yn ystod y flwyddyn.
Digidwyd rhan o Archif Posteri Hanesyddol
y Llyfrgell er enghraifft, sydd yn cynnwys
dros 2,600 o eitemau, a chyflwynwyd nifer o
lawysgrifau canoloesol ar-lein. Ceir yn eu plith
Lyfr Offeren Sherbrooke (Llsgr. NLW 15536E),
testun Cymraeg o Gyfreithiau Hywel Dda
(Llsgr. NLW 20143A) a Brwydrau Alecsander
Fawr (Llsgr. Peniarth 481D), sef un o’r
llawysgrifau canoloesol harddaf eu haddurn
yng nghasgliadau’r Llyfrgell.
In addition to the large-scale digital projects,
the Library continued to digitise smaller
collections and individual items during the
year. For instance, part of the Library’s Historic
Posters Archive was digitised, including over
2,600 items, and a number of medieval
manuscripts were made available online. Among
these are the Sherbrooke Missal (NLW MS.
15536E), a Welsh text of the Laws of Hywel
Dda (NLW MS. 20143A) and the Battles of
Alexander the Great (Peniarth MS. 481D), one
of the finest medieval illuminated manuscripts
in the Library’s collection.

Archif Ddigidol
Digital Archive
Wrth i gasgliadau digidol y Llyfrgell barhau i
gynyddu, ehangwyd yr archif ddigidol i gynnal
storio a chyflenwi cynnyrch y prosiectau digidol
ar raddfa fawr ac er mwyn paratoi i storio’n
ddiogel gasgliadau cynyddol o ddeunydd
clyweled digidol. Datblygir dulliau newydd i
storio a rheoli’r data hyn wrth i’r Llyfrgell barhau
i arwain yn y gwaith o ddatblygu storio diogel i
wrthrychau digidol.
As the Library’s digital collections continue to
increase, the digital archive has been expanded to
support the storage and delivery of the outputs
of large-scale digitisation projects and to prepare
to securely store increasing quantities of digital
audiovisual material. New approaches and
methods for storing and managing this data are
being developed as the Library continues to lead
the way in the safe storage of digital objects.
Sefydliad Catalog Cyhoeddus
Public Catalogue Foundation
Sefydliad elusennol yw’r Sefydliad Catalog
Cyhoeddus (Public Catalogue Foundation,
PCF) sy’n anelu at gynyddu mynediad at
beintiadau mewn casgliadau cyhoeddus trwy
greu cyfres o gatalogau lliw fesul sir.
The Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF) is a
charitable organisation that aims to increase
access to paintings by creating a series of colour
catalogues on a county-by-county basis.
Tasg y Llyfrgell oedd dethol, digido a chasglu
metadata am oddeutu 2000 o beintiadau olew
neu acrylig a gedwir yn y Llyfrgell. Roedd
dewis a digido’r peintiadau yn broses gymhleth,
a daethpwyd ar draws amrywiaeth o broblemau,
o gamerâu wedi torri i faterion hawlfraint.
Dewiswyd peintiadau gan artistiaid megis
J. M. W. Turner, Richard Wilson, Thomas
Gainsborough a Kyffin Williams.
Troswyd metadata o fformat safonol y Llyfrgell
(catalog VTLS Virtua) i fformat PCF (taenlen
Excel) gan ddefnyddio ‘eXtensible Stylesheet
Language’ (XSL).
Bydd y catalogau ar gael o PCF yn ystod 2012.
The task at the Library was to choose, digitise
and gather metadata on roughly 2000 oil or
acrylic paintings to increase access to paintings
in public collections held at the Library.
Choosing and digitising the paintings was a
complex process, and various problems –
ranging from broken cameras to copyright
issues – were encountered. Paintings were chosen
from the work of artists such as J. M. W. Turner,
Richard Wilson, Thomas Gainsborough and
Kyffin Williams.
Metadata was converted from the standard
Library format (VTLS Virtua catalogue) to
the PCF format (Excel Spreadsheet) using
eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL).
The catalogues will be available from PCF
during 2012.
Prosiect Cymynrodd Kyffin Williams
Cwblhawyd digido a chatalogio’r deunydd i gyd,
sef gwaith celf Kyffin ei hun, ei gasgliad helaeth
o gelf gan eraill, a’i archifau, gan gynnwys ei
ohebiaeth, ei ddyddiaduron a’i ffotograffau.
Rhyddheir y cofnodion a’r delweddau perthynol
i brif gatalog y Llyfrgell yn y dyfodol agos, gan
alluogi pawb sydd â diddordeb yn yr artist i
gael mynediad i’r catalog o bell yn ôl eu dewis.
Pan fydd materion hawlfraint wedi eu datrys,
bydd delweddau digidol o weithiau celf a rhai o
bapurau personol yr artist hefyd ar gael
ar-lein, ochr yn ochr â’r cofnodion catalog.
Kyffin Williams Bequest Project
The digitisation and cataloguing of all material
has now been completed, comprising Kyffin’s
own works of art, his extensive collection of
art by others, and his archives, including his
correspondence, diaries and photographs. The
descriptions and related images will be released
into the Library’s main catalogue in the near
future, enabling all those interested in the artist
to access the catalogue remotely whenever they
like. When copyright issues have been resolved,
digital images of artworks and some of the artist’s
personal papers will also be available on-line,
alongside the catalogue descriptions.

Julian Thomas a Storfa Kyffin Williams
Julian Thomas and the Kyffin Williams Store
Roedd dydd Llun, 13 Rhagfyr 2010 yn
ddiwrnod o ddathlu a diolch yn y Llyfrgell.
Daeth aelodau’r Bwrdd, aelodau Penodau a
staff ynghyd i nodi ymddeoliad Julian Thomas,
Pennaeth yr Uned Gadwraeth, ac i ddathlu
agoriad y Storfa Kyffin newydd. Y ddolen gyswllt
rhwng y ddau ddigwyddiad oedd y diweddar
Kyffin Williams. Bu Julian yn gyfaill i Kyffin dros
nifer o flynyddoedd a dangosodd y rhwymiadau
cain yr oedd wedi eu llunio i’r artist. Cynlluniwyd
Storfa Kyffin er mwyn gallu cadw holl gasgliad
Kyffin gyda’i gilydd. Crewyd y storfa trwy
addasu ardal storio oedd yn bod eisoes. Roedd
yr addasiadau i’r ardal hon yn ei galluogi i letya
dros 170 o beintiadau olew, gweithiau celf ar
bapur a gwrthrychau 3-dimensiwn.
Monday, 13 December 2010 was a day of
celebration and thanksgiving at the Library.
Members of the Board, Chapters and staff
attended an event to mark the retirement of
Julian Thomas, the Head of the Conservation
Treatment Unit, and the opening of the new
Kyffin Store. These events were linked through
the late Kyffin Williams. Julian had been a friend
of Kyffin for many years and he exhibited the
fine bindings that he had made for the artist.
The Kyffin Store was designed to enable the
whole Kyffin collection to be kept together. The
store was created through the modification of an
existing storage area. The adaptations to the area
enabled it to accommodate over 170 paintings,
works of art on paper and 3D objects.
Casgliad Traethodau Cymru
Theses Collection Wales
Mae casgliad traethodau’r Llyfrgell yn cynnwys
tua 50,000 o draethodau a thraethodau hir a
gyflwynwyd ar gyfer graddau ôl-radd mewn
sefydliadau addysg uwch yng Nghymru. Mae
mwyafrif llethol y casgliad presennol mewn
fformat papur, ond mae adneuo electronig
yn dod yn fwy a mwy cyffredin. Mae nifer o
sefydliadau wedi datblygu storfeydd sefydliadol
i storio a darparu mynediad ar-lein i’w
cynnyrch ymchwil, gan gynnwys traethodau a
thraethodau hir electronig – y cyfeirir atynt fel
arfer fel ‘e-draethodau’. Yn 2009 dechreuodd
y Llyfrgell a Rhwydwaith Cadwrfeydd Cymru
waith ar ‘wasanaeth cynaeafu e-draethodau’.
Mae’r gwasanaeth hwn yn galluogi’r Llyfrgell
i gasglu, trwy gynaeafu, gopïau o destun llawn
yr e-draethodau a darparu mynediad parhaus
iddynt trwy reoli cadwraethol. Ym Mawrth
2011 lansiwyd Casgliad Traethodau Cymru yn
swyddogol gan y Llyfrgell. Mae testun llawn y
traethodau hyn a gynaeafwyd ar gael trwy gatalog
y Llyfrgell a bydd pob traethawd PhD a gasglwyd
gan y Llyfrgell o blith y sefydliadau sy’n cymryd
rhan yn cael ei gynaeafu gan wasanaeth EthOS y
Llyfrgell Brydeinig.
The Library’s theses collection includes
approximately 50,000 theses and dissertations
that have been presented for postgraduate degrees
in higher educational institutions (HEIs) in Wales.
The vast majority of the current collection is in
paper format, but electronic deposit is becoming
increasingly common. Many HEIs have developed
institutional repositories to store and provide
online access to their research output, including
electronic theses and dissertations – more
commonly referred to as ‘e-theses’. In 2009 the
Library and the Welsh Repository Network began
work on the ‘e-theses harvesting service’. This
service enables the Library to collect, through
harvesting, copies of the full-text e-theses and
to provide continued access to them through
preservation management. In March 2011, the
Library officially launched Theses Collection
Wales. The full text of these harvested theses
are available through the Library’s catalogue
and all PhD theses collected by the Library
from participating institutions will be harvested
by the British Library’s EThOS service.

Culturenet Cymru
Culturenet Cymru
Roedd prosiect Casgliad y Werin Cymru yn
greiddiol i holl weithgareddau Culturenet
Cymru eleni. Lansiwyd gwefan Casgliad y
Werin Cymru yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol ar
ddechrau Awst 2010 a bu Culturenet a’r Llyfrgell
yn allweddol i lwyddiant y wefan a’i chynnwys.
Trwy gydweithio â phartneriaid Casgliad y
Werin Cymru bu Culturenet yn darparu
cynnwys thematig ac yn cefnogi Sequence i
brofi a datblygu’r wefan. Yn ystod y flwyddyn
gwelwyd galw am gefnogaeth ymysg y sector
treftadaeth a grwpiau hanes i gyfrannu at y
prosiect. Cefnogwyd eu hamcanion drwy gynnig
hyfforddiant cychwynnol, datblygu rhaglen
benthyg offer a chefnogaeth o bell.
The People’s Collection Wales project was
central to all the activities of Culturenet Cymru
this year. The People’s Collection Wales website
was launched at the National Eisteddfod at the
beginning of August 2010 and Culturenet and
the Library played a key role in the success of
the website and its content. By co-operating
with partners in the People’s Collection Wales
project Culturenet provided thematic content
and supported Sequence in the testing and
development of the website. During the year the
heritage sector and history groups were invited
to contribute to the project. Their aspirations
were met by the provision of initial training,
by the development of a loans programme and
by remote support.
Mae Culturenet wedi bod yn cynorthwyo
prosiectau eraill eleni. Cefnogwyd Prifysgol
Aberystwyth gyda’r prosiect Cof a’r Cyfryngau
yng Nghymru 1950–2000 a gyllidwyd gan JISC.
Astudiaeth oedd i ddylanwad teledu ar fywyd
teuluol yng Nghymru yn ystod ail hanner yr
20fed ganrif trwy gyfres o gyfweliadau gyda
phobl yn ardaloedd Wrecsam, Caernarfon,
y Rhondda a Chaerfyrddin. Darparwyd
gwasanaeth digido sioeau ffordd i Brifysgol
Caerdydd ar brosiect Cymry’r Rhyfel Mawr
Ar-lein sef prosiect i gasglu a rhannu deunydd
sydd yn nwylo preifat sy’n ymwneud a
phrofiadau’r Cymry yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd
Cyntaf. Mae’r eitemau a gasglwyd ar gael ar
wefan Casgliad y Werin Cymru.
Ym mis Medi daeth y newydd fod cais
prosiect cynhwysiant digidol, Treftadaeth
Ddigidol yn y Gymuned: Cymunedau 2.0 wedi
bod yn llwyddiannus. Nod y prosiect peilot yw
hyfforddi a chefnogi unigolion a grwpiau yng
Ngheredigion, Sir Gâr a Sir Benfro i ddefnyddio
technoleg newydd.
Culturenet has been assisting other projects
this year. Support was given to Aberystwyth
University for their JISC-funded project Memory
and the Media in Wales 1950–2000. This was
a study of the impact of television on family
life in Wales during the second half of the 20th
century by means of a series of interviews with
people in the Wrexham, Caernarfon, Rhondda
and Carmarthen areas. Roadshow digitisation
services were provided for Cardiff University
for Welsh Voices of the Great War Online, a
project to collect and share material in private
hands concerning the experiences of Welsh
people during the First World War. The items
collected are available on the People’s Collection
Wales website.
In September we received notification that the
project bid, Digital Heritage in the Community:
Communities 2.0 had been successful. The
aim of the pilot project is to train and support
individuals and groups in Ceredigion,
Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire in the
use of new technology.

Trawsnewid Busnes
Business Transition
Mae Adran Gwasanaethau Casgliadau wedi
datblygu ac wedi dechrau gweithredu Rhaglen
Trawsnewid Busnes gyda’r nod o gynyddu
effeithlonrwydd gweithredol drwy’r Llyfrgell i
gyd mewn perthynas â phob agwedd o brosesu a
rheoli casgliadau. Bydd y rhaglen yn weithredol
dros y cyfnod 2011–2014.
The Department of Collection Services
developed and began implementing a Business
Transition Programme aimed at increasing
operational efficiency throughout the Library
in all aspects of collections processing and
management. The Programme will cover the
period 2011–2014.
Mae i’r Rhaglen bedair cangen annibynnol ond

Penodwyd Dr Owain Roberts yn Rheolwr
Trawsnewid Busnes gyda’r cyfrifoldeb o
ymgymryd â thasgau a gysylltir â datblygu, rheoli
a monitro’r rhaglen, ac adnabod a dadansoddi
prosesau busnes aneffeithlon. Diffinnir prosesau
a threfniadau busnes ‘meinach’ a gweithredir
llifau gwaith gwell, a fydd yn eu tro yn cynyddu
effeithlonrwydd, ac yn gwella gwasanaethau a
phrofiad y defnyddiwr. Sefydlwyd hefyd Dîm
Trawsnewid Busnes trawsadrannol i arwain
y gweithredu a rhoddwyd rôl Cydlynydd
Rheoli Newid i Dr Paul Joyner. Gwahoddir
cynrychiolwyr undeb i fynychu cyfarfodydd y
Tîm. Cynhelir cyfarfodydd rheolaidd â’r holl staff
eisoes a gosodir gwybodaeth am y Rhaglen ar y
mewnrwyd. Mae pawb o’r staff wedi mynychu
hyfforddiant ymwybyddiaeth ‘Rheolaeth Fain’.

Gan dderbyn na fydd y Llyfrgell yn gweld
unrhyw gynnydd mewn adnoddau staff, yr unig
ffordd y gellir gwella yw trwy weithredu arbedion
yn egnïol. Bydd yr arbedion hyn yn cynnwys
defnyddio cyfrifiaduron, partneriaethau, dileu
ymdrech ddiangen, a therfynu rhai prosesau’n
gyfan gwbl.
Yn sail i’r Rhaglen Trawsnewid Busnes fydd
y ddealltwriaeth y gall rhai o’r adnoddau a
ryddheir drwy arbedion gael eu hailgyfeirio i
greu gwelliant o ran cwrdd ag anghenion
defnyddwyr ac o ran cynhyrchiant.
Dr Owain Roberts was appointed Business
Transition Manager with responsibility for
undertaking tasks associated with developing,
managing and monitoring the programme, and
the identification and analysis of inefficient
business processes. ‘Leaner’ business processes
and procedures will be defined and improved
workflows implemented, which will in turn
increase efficiency, improve services and user
experience. An interdepartmental Business
Transition Team has also been established to
lead on implementation and the role of Change
Management Coordinator has been assigned
to Dr Paul Joyner. Union representatives will
be invited to attend Team meetings. Regular
meetings with all staff are already in place and
information regarding the Programme will be
posted on the intranet. All staff have attended
‘Lean Management’ awareness training.
Given the premise that the Library will not
experience any growth in staff resources, the
only way improvements can happen is through
the vigorous pursuit of efficiencies. Efficiencies
will include use of automation, partnerships,
elimination of redundant effort, and ceasing
some processing activities altogether.
The underlying premise of the Business
Transition Programme will be that the some
of the resources freed by efficiencies can be
redirected towards improvements in terms of
meeting users’ needs and increasing productivity.

Adnau Cyfreithiol Electronig
Electronic Legal Deposit
Mae’r Llyfrgell yn parhau i weithio mewn
partneriaeth â’r llyfrgelloedd adnau cyfreithiol
i baratoi ar gyfer adneuo cyfreithiol electronig.
Mae’r storfa yn Aberystwyth yn dal i ehangu a
gweithredwyd y pedwerydd nod yng Nghaeredin.
Datblygwyd mynediad dros dro i gynnwys
cyfyngedig ar gyfer y staff ac mae mynediad i’r
cyhoedd o fewn yr ystafelloedd darllen yn cael ei
ddatblygu, i fod yn barod yn haf 2011.
The Library continues to work in partnership
with the legal deposit libraries to prepare for
electronic legal deposit. The storage node in
Aberystwyth continues to expand and the fourth
node has been deployed in Edinburgh. Interim
access for staff to limited content was developed
and access for the public within the reading
rooms is under development and due for delivery
in summer 2011.
Ymatebodd y Llyfrgell i ymgynghoriad
cyhoeddus y DCMS a chyhoeddwyd ymateb
y Llywodraeth tua diwedd y cyfnod adrodd.
Cadarnhaodd y Llywodraeth ei hymrwymiad
i ddatblygu’r Rheoliadau drafft yn ymwneud â
chynnwys all-lein a chynnwys ar-lein y gellir ei
gaffael trwy gynaeafu – i gwmpasu cynnwys sydd
â chyfyngiadau mynediad arno a chynnwys y telir
amdano, a chynnwys ar-lein sydd yn ei hanfod yr
un â gwaith printiedig.
The Library responded to the DCMS’s public
consultation and the Government response
was published towards the end of the reporting
period. The Government confirmed its
commitment to develop the draft Regulations
covering off-line content, on-line content that
can be obtained through harvesting – to include
content that has access restrictions including
paid for content, and on-line content that is
substantially the same as a printed work.
Datblygiadau’r We a Gwe 2.0
Web and Web 2.0 Developments
Parhaodd y Llyfrgell i weithredu ei strategaeth
ar gyfer y We, ‘Rhannu Cydweithio Arloesi’,
trwy brif wefan y Llyfrgell a thrwy bresenoldeb
mewn amgylcheddau cyfryngau cymdeithasol
allweddol eraill. Ceir bellach fwy o ddulliau nag
erioed o’r blaen i ddarganfod beth sy’n digwydd
yn y Llyfrgell; gallwch ein dilyn ar Twitter neu
facebook neu ddarllen ein blog sy’n dangos
postiadau am bob agwedd ar waith y Llyfrgell.
The Library has continued to implement its
Strategy for the Web, ‘Share Collaborate
Innovate’, both through the Library’s main
website and through presences on other key
social media environments. There are now more
ways than ever to find out about what is going
on in the Library; you can follow us on Twitter
or facebook or read our blog which features
posts about all areas of the Library’s work.
Yn 2010–11 gwelwyd eto dwf sylweddol yn
nifer ein defnyddwyr ar-lein, gan ddod â ni at
gyfanswm o fwy nag 1.25 miliwn o ddefnyddwyr
unigol. Cafwyd hefyd dwf sylweddol yn y
defnydd o ddelweddau’r Llyfrgell ar ‘Flickr
Commons’ – gan roi i bawb gyfle i weld
rhai o gasgliadau ffotograffig y Llyfrgell ac i
ryngweithio â nhw.
2010–11 brought another significant increase
in our online user base, bringing us to over
1.25 million unique users. Significant growth
has also been seen in the use of the Library’s
‘Flickr Commons’ images – giving all the
opportunity to view and interact with some
of the Library’s photographic collections.
Aquabrowser
Aquabrowser
Rhyngwyneb newydd i chwilio casgliadau’r
Llyfrgell, boed yn analog neu’n ddigidol, drwy
un chwiliad, yw Aquabrowser. Mae’n chwilio’n
gyflym ar draws y casgliadau, ac mae’n cynnig
ffordd o gyfyngu’r canlyniadau drwy eu trefnu
dan benawdau gwahanol. Mae’r ‘cwmwl geiriau’
yn ychwanegiad sydd yn apelio at ddefnyddwyr,
ac yn llythrennol yn cynnig cwmwl o eiriau
cysylltiedig â’r term chwilio a all fynd â’r
darllenydd i bob math o gyfeiriadau gwahanol.
Mae’r gwaith ar Aquabrowser yn parhau, a’r
cam nesaf fydd ymgynghori gyda’n defnyddwyr
a chynnwys eu hatborth mewn gwaith datblygu
pellach, i sicrhau fod y rhyngwyneb yn cwrdd
â’u gofynion.
Aquabrowser is a new interface to search the
Library’s collections, both analogue and digital,
in one convenient search. It searches quickly
across the collections, and offers the choice to
limit results by refining them. The ‘word cloud’
is an addition which appeals to users, and literally
offers them a cloud of words related in some way
to the search term which could take them in all
sorts of unexpected directions.
Work on Aquabrowser is ongoing, and the next
step will be to consult with our users and
incorporate their feedback in further development
work, to ensure that the interface meets their needs.

Technical infrastructure
Fel sefydliad sy’n ddibynnol ar ddata digidol
rhaid i’r Llyfrgell gadw isadeiledd technegol
cadarn ac effeithiol sydd nid yn unig yn cynnal
gweithgareddau’r sefydliad o ddydd i ddydd ond
sydd hefyd yn darparu’r fframwaith ar gyfer
digido blaengar a rhaglenni casglu digidol ac yn
bwysicach na dim, sy’n creu llwybr allweddol i
ddefnyddwyr i gael mynediad i wasanaethau a
chasgliadau’r Llyfrgell. Canolog i waith 2010–11
fu’r ymdrech i sicrhau bod yr isadeiledd yn
ehangu tra’n aros yn effeithiol ac yn ddibynadwy,
gydag uwchraddio sylweddol ar ein rhwydwaith
yn ogystal â chynllunio a pharatoi at amgylchedd
newydd i feddalwedd bwrdd gwaith.
As a organisation dependent in digital data,
the Library must retain a robust and effective
technical infrastructure which not only supports
the day to day activities of the organisation but
also provides the framework for cutting edge
digitisation and digital collection programmes
and, most importantly of all, serves as a key
pathway for users to access the Library’s services
and collections. Ensuring that the infrastructure
expands, whilst remaining efficient and reliable,
has been critical to the work of 2010–11, with
significant upgrades to our network as well as
planning and preparation for a new desktop
software environment.
Mae’r Llyfrgell hefyd wedi mabwysiadu’n
ddiweddar Strategaeth Technoleg Gwybodaeth
a Chyfathrebu newydd:
The Library has also recently adopted a
new Information and Communication
Technology Strategy:

a fydd yn llywio darpariaeth gwasanaethau
TGCh dros y tair blynedd nesaf trwy ddatblygu
gwasanaethau newydd a gwella parhaus ar
isadeiledd technegol sylfaenol y Llyfrgell.
which will shape the provision of ICT
services over the next three years through
the development of new services and the
continuous improvement of the Library’s
core technical infrastructure.

Isadeiledd technegol
Ym mis Mehefin 2010 penodwyd Dr Dafydd
Tudur yn Rheolwr Hawliau a Gwybodaeth.
Mae’r swydd newydd hon yn ymwneud â’r
elfen gyfreithiol o reoli gwybodaeth, maes sy’n
berthnasol i sawl agwedd o waith y Llyfrgell.
Gan ddilyn y datblygiadau diweddaraf o fewn
i’r Deyrnas Gyfunol a thu hwnt, bydd Dafydd
yn rhoi arweiniad a chyngor ar faterion megis
hawliau eiddo deallusol, rhyddid gwybodaeth a
gwarchod data. Bydd hefyd yn cynnal arolwg
o bolisi a gweithdrefnau cyfredol ac yn cynnig
dulliau o effeithloni a chysoni gweithgareddau
rheoli hawliau a gwybodaeth ar draws y Llyfrgell.
Mae hawliau eiddo deallusol yn arbennig o
berthnasol yng nghyd-destun datblygiadau
digidol a’r defnydd o’r We. Ar ddechrau 2011
ymatebodd y Llyfrgell i Arolwg Hargreaves o’r
fframwaith eiddo deallusol cyfredol gan alw am
ddiwygio’r gyfraith er mwyn galluogi mynediad
ehangach i’r casgliad. Mae’r hawliau hyn hefyd
yn ganolog i’r modd yr ydym yn rhannu ein
hadnoddau (drwy gynlluniau trwyddedu agored
fel Creative Commons) a bydd Dafydd yn
cyfrannu at ddatblygu modelau busnes newydd
a fydd yn hyrwyddo a chefnogi gweithgareddau
digido a gwasanaethau ar-lein.
Information and Rights Manager
In June 2010 Dr Dafydd Tudur was appointed
Information and Rights Manager. This new
post is concerned with the legal element of
information management, an area which is
relevant to many aspects of the Library’s work.
By following the latest developments within
the United Kingdom and beyond, Dafydd
will provide leadership and advice on matters
such as intellectual property rights, freedom of
information and data protection. He will also
conduct a survey of current policy and practice
and will offer means of making information and
rights management activities more efficient and
more consistent throughout the Library.
Intellectual property rights are particularly
relevant in the context of digital developments
and the use of the Web. Early in 2011 the Library
responded to the Hargreaves Review of the
current intellectual property framework by calling
for a change in the law to enable wider access
to the collection. These rights are also central to
the way we distribute our resources (by means
of open licensing schemes such as Creative
Commons) and Dafydd will be contributing to
the development of new business models which
will promote and support digitisation activities
and online services.

CyMAL
Adnoddau electronig
CyMAL
Electronic resources
Trwy nawdd CyMAL y mae’r Llyfrgell wedi
trefnu nifer o gytundebau i roi mynediad i
adnoddau electronig i lyfrgelloedd ar draws
Cymru. Y mae’r trefniant gyda NewsBank i roi
mynediad i bapurau newydd ar-lein i brifysgolion
Cymru, y Llyfrgell Genedlaethol, addysg bellach,
y gwasanaeth iechyd a llyfrgelloedd cyhoeddus
Cymru, yn cael ei estyn am flwyddyn arall, tan
ddiwedd Mawrth 2012. Mae’r un peth yn wir am
fynediad i ddau adnodd gan Oxford University
Press, sef Oxford Art ac Oxford Music Online
a fydd hefyd ar gael i lyfrgelloedd cyhoeddus
Cymru a’r Llyfrgell Genedlaethol tan ddiwedd
Mawrth 2012. Ers 1 Mawrth 2011 y mae’r
Llyfrgell wedi trefnu tanysgrifiad i’r adnodd
hanes teulu, Find My Past, sydd yn cynnwys
y Llyfrgell a llyfrgelloedd cyhoeddus Cymru.
Hefyd trefnwyd tanysgrifiad consortiwm i’r
Llyfrgell Genedlaethol a llyfrgelloedd cyhoeddus
Cymru i’r adnodd hanes teulu Ancestry.
Through the financial support of CyMAL the
Library has arranged a number of contracts to
give libraries across Wales access to electronic
resources. The agreement with NewsBank to
give access for Welsh universities, the National
Library, further education, the health sector and
Welsh public libraries to on-line newspapers is
being extended for another year, until the end
of March 2012. The same is true for access to
two Oxford University Press resources, Oxford
Art and Oxford Music Online, which will also
be available to the National Library and Welsh
public libraries until the end of March 2012.
Since 1 March 2011 the Library has negotiated a
subscription for the family history resource Find
My Past, which includes the Library and Welsh
public libraries. A consortial subscription has also
been negotiated to the family history resource
Ancestry, for the National Library and the Welsh
public libraries.
Addysg
Education
Yn ystod y flwyddyn fe gymerodd 3,603 o
bobl ran mewn gweithdai a chyflwyniadau
gan y Gwasanaeth Addysg. Cafwyd stondin
lwyddiannus ddechrau haf 2010 yn Eisteddfod
yr Urdd Dyffryn Aeron, gyda sylw arbennig
yn cael ei roi yn ystod yr wythnos i Lyfr Gwyn
Rhydderch a’r Mabinogi. Yn mis Medi 2010
cyflwynwyd gweithdai ar Lywodraethu Cymru
mewn partneriaeth â Llywodraeth Cymru, ac yn
ystod y flwyddyn bu’r Gwasanaeth yn gweithio
ar y cyd â Llywodraeth Cymru a Phrifysgol
Aberystwyth ar gynllun Bagloriaeth Cymru.
Bu’r Gwasanaeth yn cynnal gwaith estyn allan
yn Wrecsam yn ystod Hydref 2010 drwy arwain
gweithdai i dros 500 o blant ar thema Cymru
yn yr Oesoedd Canol. Rhwng Ionawr a Mawrth
2011 derbyniodd cannoedd o ymwelwyr o
bob oedran weithdai gan y Gwasanaeth ar
arddangosfa Byd Bach. Penodwyd Luned
Rhys Parri i weithio fel Artist Preswyl gyda’r
Gwasanaeth Addysg mewn ysgolion yn y
Drenewydd a Wrecsam yn ystod 2011. Mae’r
Gwasanaeth wedi ailddatblygu ystafell Hafan
yn ardal lle gall teuluoedd ddysgu mwy am y
Llyfrgell a’r casgliadau. Cynhyrchwyd pecyn ar
gyfer teuluoedd sydd ar gael yn rhad ac am ddim
yn Hafan ac ar y we, ac mae’r wybodaeth sydd
yn y pecyn yn rhyngweithio gyda gwefan newydd
y Gwasanaeth: addysg.llgc.org.uk, a lansiwyd yn
ystod y flwyddyn.
During the year a total of 3,603 people
participated in Education Service workshops
and presentations. Early in the summer of 2010
a successful presence was mounted at the Urdd
Eisteddfod in the Aeron Valley, where special
attention was given during the week to the
White Book of Rhydderch and the Mabinogi.
In September 2010 workshops on Governing
Wales were held in partnership with the Welsh
Government, and during the year the Service
co-operated with the Welsh Government
and Aberystwyth University on the Welsh
Baccalaureate programme. The Service took
part in outreach activities in Wrexham during
October 2010 by means of workshops for over
500 children on the theme of Wales in the Middle
Ages. Between January and March 2011 hundreds
of visitors of all ages enjoyed the Service’s
workshops on the Small World exhibition. Luned
Rhys Parri was appointed artist in residence
to work with the Education Service at schools
in Newtown and Wrexham during 2011. The
Service has redeveloped the Hafan room as an
area where families can learn more about the
Library and its collections. A pack for families
was made available free of charge in Hafan and
on the web, and the information in the pack
interfaces with the Service’s new website: addysg.

Yr Archif Sgrin a Sain
The Screen and Sound Archive
Wrth i’r Archif edrych ymlaen at ddathlu
ei phen-blwydd yn ddeg oed yn 2011,
penderfynodd Iestyn Hughes mai dyma’r amser
priodol i ‘ymddeol’. Iestyn fu Pennaeth yr Archif
o’r cychwyn cyntaf, ac yntau a’i llywiodd wrth
iddi dyfu a datblygu i fod yn sefydliad o bwys
cenedlaethol. Penodwyd Dafydd Pritchard, aelod
o staff yr Archif, yn Rheolwr newydd arni.
As the Archive looked forward to celebrating its
tenth birthday in 2011, Iestyn Hughes decided
that it was an appropriate time to ‘retire’. Iestyn
had been the Head of the Archive from the very
beginning, and under his leadership it grew
and developed into an organisation of national
significance. Dafydd Pritchard, a member of the
Archive’s staff, was appointed the new Manager.
Yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf llwyddwyd
i gynnal yr hyn sy’n ganolog i’n gwaith, gan
ychwanegu at ein casgliadau a datblygu systemau
catalogio pwrpasol. Yn bwysig iawn, hefyd, fe
lwyddwyd i bwrcasu nifer o beiriannau a fydd
yn hwyluso ein hawydd i ddigido rhagor o’n
casgliadau, ac yn sgil hynny yn hwyluso
mynediad iddynt.
During the last year we have succeeded in
maintaining core activities, by adding to our
collections and by developing appropriate
cataloguing systems. Also, and very important,
we succeeded in purchasing a number of
machines which will support our ambitions to
digitise more of our collections, and as a result
enable easier access to them.
Ac yn ein gwaith estyn allan yn Wrecsam, cafwyd
cyfle i weithio gyda nifer o fyfyrwyr ag anghenion
arbennig yng Ngholeg Iâl, mewn gweithdy ar sut
i ddarllen ffilm, yn ogystal â noson lwyddiannus
yn sinema’r Odeon pan ddangoswyd Proud Valley
a ffilmiau o ddiddordeb lleol.
And in our outreach work in Wrexham we had an
opportunity to work with a number of Yale College
students with special needs, in a workshop on
how to read a film, as well as a successful evening
at the Odeon cinema where we screened Proud
Valley and films of local interest.
Cyfryngau Cymdeithasol –
o Meic Stevens i Alecsander Fawr
Social Media –
from Meic Stevens to Alexander the Great
Mae sôn am Twitter a Facebook ac YouTube yn
ffasiynol iawn, ond beth yw eu gwerth mewn
gwirionedd i sefydliad fel y Llyfrgell? Ai ymgais
sydd yma i gael ein gweld yn gwneud y peth
cŵl neu a oes gwerth gwirioneddol i’r cyfryngau
newydd hyn?
It is fashionable to talk about Twitter and
Facebook and YouTube, but what is their true
value to an organisation like the Library? Is this
an attempt to be seen as doing the cool thing or
is there genuine value in these new media?
Bellach rydym mewn sefyllfa i ddweud yn
hyderus bod gwerth i’r gwaith hwn.
Erbyn diwedd Mawrth 2011 roedd bron 400,000
wedi gweld ein casgliad o ffotograffau ar y wefan
hon. Y Llyfrgell oedd un o’r llyfrgelloedd cyntaf
o’i bath i fentro defnyddio Flickr Commons.
Rydym yn ychwanegu ychydig bob pythefnos. Yn
arwyddocaol nid yn unig mae cannoedd o filoedd
yn gweld y delweddau hyn ond mae cannoedd
yn gwneud sylwadau arnynt ac yn dod yn ôl yn
gyson i weld beth sydd gan y Llyfrgell i’w gynnig.

Sganio a digido gwaith celf
Scanning and digitising art work
We are now in a position to state with confidence
that these have their value.
By the end of March 2011 almost 400,000 had
seen our collection of photographs on this website.
The Library was one of the first libraries of its
kind to experiment with using Flickr Commons.
We add a little every fortnight. Significantly not
only do hundreds of thousands see these images
but hundreds comment on them and return
regularly to see what the Library has to offer.

Rhoddwyd neges allan ar Twitter am y llawysgrif

mis Rhagfyr daeth bron i fil o bobl i ymweld â
hi. Roedd llawer o’r rhain yn ganoloeswyr oedd
wedi dod ar draws y sylw ar wefan arbenigol
oedd hefyd am ysgrifennu erthygl ar y llawysgrif.
Felly trwy drydar cyrhaeddodd y Llyfrgell
gynulleidfa niche y byddai wedi bod yn eithriadol
o anodd ei thargedu fel arall, a hynny gydag
ychydig iawn o ymdrech.

A message went out on Twitter about this
manuscript and over a period of some days in
December almost a thousand people visited it.
Many of these were medievalists who had
come across the message on a specialist website
and wished to write an article about the
manuscript. So by tweeting the Library reached
a niche audience which it would have been
exceptionally difficult to target otherwise, and
with very little effort.

llythyr, ffôn neu ffacs. Gwasanaeth sy’n cael ei
gynnal gan gwmni OCLC yw QuestionPoint,
a bu’r Llyfrgell yn cydweithio gyda’r cwmni i
sicrhau cyflwyno gwasanaeth cwbl ddwyieithog.
Un o gryfderau mawr QuestionPoint yw
fod yr holl ymholiadau a’r atebion yn cael eu
cadw mewn cronfa ddata; mae modd golygu’r
holl ymholiadau yn y gronfa, a dewis rhai addas
neu’r rhai mwyaf poblogaidd i’w cyflwyno yng
nghronfa gwybodaeth QuestionPoint, a adwaenir
fel y Knowledge Base. Cyn gosod ymholiadau yn
y Knowledge Base, bydd manylion personol yr
ymholwyr yn cael eu dileu.
Mae modd i’r cyhoedd chwilio’r gronfa hon sy’n
cynnwys rhai o’r ymholiadau mwyaf poblogaidd,
ac ymholiadau cyffredinol yn ymwneud â’n
casgliadau a’n gwasanaethau. Mae hyn felly yn
cynnig gwasanaeth llawer hwylusach i’r cyhoedd.
QuestionPoint’s Knowledge Base
QuestionPoint was launched in June 2010 as the
Library’s system for recording all the enquiries
received by the Library, whether by e-mail, letter,
phone or fax.
QuestionPoint is hosted by OCLC, and the
Library worked with the company to ensure that
it could deliver a fully bilingual service.
One of QuestionPoint’s strengths is that it stores
all enquiries, and the answers sent, in a database;
all the enquiries in this database can be edited,
and the most suitable or popular ones can
be presented in QuestionPoint’s information
database, known as the Knowledge Base. Before
any enquiries are placed in the Knowledge
Base all personal details relating to the enquirers
are removed.
This database can be searched by the public
and contains some of our most popular enquiries,
and general enquiries relating to our collections
and services, thereby providing the public with a
service that is easier to use.

Materion Amgylcheddol
Environmental Issues
Mae’r Llyfrgell yn ymwybodol fod ei
gweithgareddau yn effeithio ar yr amgylchedd
ac mae’n parhau i gymryd camau i leihau’r
effaith. Llwyddwyd i ennill eto dystysgrif
Lefel 2 y Ddraig Werdd a chadwyd Band C y
Dystysgrif Dangos Ynni. Yn unol ag argymhellion
Cyfarwyddwyr yr Amgueddfeydd mae’r Llyfrgell
wedi llacio peth ar yr amodau amgylcheddol
(gwres a lleithder) mewn rhai ardaloedd storio
a bydd hyn yn gymorth i leihau’r defnydd o
ynni. Gosodwyd peiriannau newydd yn un o’r
ddwy ystafell gyfrifiaduron ac mae’r arwyddion
cychwynnol yn awgrymu y bydd arbediad
sylweddol ar ynni. Lle’r oedd modd, cliriwyd yr
asbestos oedd yn weddill yn y dyctiau o dan y
lloriau ac amgaewyd unrhyw fân olion. Mae’r
Llyfrgell wedi bod yn gweithio gyda’r Bwrdd
Gwasanaeth Lleol sy’n adolygu’r defnydd o ynni
yng Ngheredigion a dangosodd adroddiad ar
y cyd nad oedd peiriant gwresogi canolog yn
ymarferol o ran cyllid ar hyn o bryd. Cwblhawyd
yr arolwg ymddiriedolaeth garbon ond gohiriwyd
ystyried ei gasgliadau nes cwblhau adroddiad y
Bwrdd Gwasanaeth Lleol.
The Library is aware that its activities have an
impact on the environment and continues to take
steps to reduce the impact. The Library retained
the Level 2 Green Dragon award and also
retained a C Display Energy Certificate. In line
with the Museum Directors’ recommendations
the Library has relaxed the environmental
conditions (temperature and humidity)
maintained in some storage areas and this will
help reduce energy usage. New plant has been
installed in one of the two computer rooms and
initial indications are that significant energy will
be saved. The residual asbestos in the below
ground service ducts has been removed where
possible and any minute traces encapsulated. The
Library has been working with the Local Service
Board reviewing energy use in Ceredigion and
a collaborative report showed that a central
heat plant was not financially viable at present.
The carbon trust survey was completed but
consideration of its findings was delayed until
the Local Service Board report was complete.
Social Corporate Responisbility
Cyfrifoldeb Cymdeithasol Corfforaethol
Yn ystod y flwyddyn fe fabwysiadodd y Llyfrgell
ei bolisi Cyfrifoldeb Cymdeithasol Corfforaethol
cyntaf. Mae’n ymwneud â’r modd y mae’r
sefydliad yn alinio’i gweithgareddau gyda
disgwyliadau ei rhanddeiliaid mewn perthynas
â’n heffeithiau economaidd, cymdeithasol ac
amgylcheddol. Mae’r polisi’n datgan yn glir ein
nodau a’n hamcanion a’n targedau cyffredinol
er mwyn parhau gyda’n hymdrechion sy’n
ymwneud â’n cyfrifoldeb cymdeithasol. Mae’n
cynnwys gweithgareddau o fewn ein hadeilad yn
Aberystwyth, ynghyd â’n dylanwad ar y sector
drwy gyfrwng ein polisïau a’n gwasanaethau.
Y mae amcanion cynllun gweithredu’r polisi
yn mynd i’r afael yn bennaf gyda materion yn
ymwneud â moeseg busnes, rheoli ein heffeithiau
amgylcheddol, caffael, parchu hawliau ac urddas
unigolion a gweithio gyda’r sector cyhoeddus a
sefydliadau eraill yn y gymuned.
During the year the Library adopted its first
Corporate Social Responsibility policy. The
policy is about how the institution aligns
its activities with the expectations of its
stakeholders in relation to our economic, social
and environmental impacts. The policy states
clearly our overall aims, objectives and targets
to continue our efforts in relation to our social
responsibility. It covers operations in our building
in Aberystwyth, including the influence we have
on the sector through our policies and services.
The policy’s operational plan will address
in particular matters pertaining to business
ethics, managing our environmental impact,
procurement, respecting the rights and dignity
of individuals and working with the public sector
and other institutions within the community.

Amrywedd
Diversity
Hefyd yn ystod y flwyddyn fe fabwysiadodd y
Llyfrgell Gynllun Cydraddoldeb Sengl. Mae’r
cynllun hwn eto’n dangos yn glir sut y mae’r
Llyfrgell yn ymfalchïo yn ei chymuned amrywiol
o staff, darllenwyr, gwirfoddolwyr ac ymwelwyr
a sut y mae’n barod i ymrwymo ymhellach er
mwyn cynnal ei record ardderchog o sicrhau
bod cyfle cyfartal i bawb, a hynny wedi’i feithrin
mewn amgylchedd o barch ac urddas. Bydd
hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb ac amrywedd yn parhau
i fod yn un o flaenoriaethau'r Llyfrgell. Mae’r
Llyfrgell yn sefydliad cynhwysol a byddwn yn
parhau i wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i sicrhau
bod pawb yn gallu cymryd rhan i’r un graddau
yn ein holl weithgareddau. Byddwn yn cydnabod,
parchu a chlodfori gwahaniaethau rhwng
unigolion a phobl.
Also during the year the Library adopted a Single
Equality Scheme. This scheme again shows how
the Library is proud of its diverse community of
staff, readers, volunteers and visitors and how it
intends to commit itself further in maintaining its
excellent record in ensuring there is equality of
opportunity for all, fostered in an environment of
mutual respect and dignity. Promoting equality
and diversity will continue to be a priority for the
Library. The Library is an inclusive institution
and we shall continue to do everything within
our power to ensure that everyone is able to
participate in all our activities on an equal
footing. We will also continue to acknowledge,
respect and celebrate the differences between
individuals and people.
Mae’r Llyfrgell hefyd yn ystod 2011 wedi
cyhoeddi Cynllun Iaith Gymraeg newydd ac
wedi cael cyfle i ymateb i ddogfen ymgynghorol
Llywodraeth Cymru Iaith fyw: Iaith byw:
Strategaeth ar gyfer y Gymraeg.
The Library has also during 2011 adopted a
new Welsh Language Scheme and has had
an opportunity to respond to the Welsh
Government’s consultation document Iaith fyw:
Iaith Byw: Strategy for the Welsh Language.

Volunteering
Gwirfoddoli
Yn 2010 fe fabwysiadodd y Llyfrgell bolisi
gwirfoddoli. Gan fod gwirfoddoli, cyfranogaeth
gymunedol a chynhwysiad cymdeithasol yn
faterion sy’n uchel ar agenda’r Llyfrgell gwelai’r
sefydliad y byddai mabwysiadu’r cynllun
hwn yn gyfrwng i hyrwyddo’r materion hyn.
Y mae’r Llyfrgell yn gweld ei hun yn rhan o’r
gymuned leol ac nid ar wahân iddi. Y mae am
weld a rhoi cyfle, felly, i aelodau’r gymuned
leol chwarae’u rhan hwythau i helpu’r Llyfrgell
gyflawni ei hamcanion drwy eu hannog i gynnig
eu hunain fel gwirfoddolwyr ac i weithio ar
brosiectau a thasgau buddiol na fyddai modd
i’r staff cyflogedig fyth eu cyflawni. Byddai’r
gwaith a gyflawnir gan wirfoddolwyr yn ‘werth
ychwanegol’ i wasanaethau presennol.
_
Y mae Paul a’i ofalwr yn ymwelwyr cyson â’r Llyfrgell a braf yw medru
darparu adeilad hylaw a gwasanaethau eang i bob un o’n defnyddwyr,
beth bynnag yw eu anghenion
Paul and his carer are among our regular visitors and the Library strives to
ensure that our splendid building and services are available to all users,
whatever their needs
In 2010 the Library adopted a volunteering
policy. Volunteering, community participation
and social inclusion are high on the Library’s
agenda and we see the adoption of this policy
as a means of advancing these important issues.
The Library already plays a key part in the
local community and we wish to expand on
this role by bringing volunteers into the Library
to work alongside members of staff to achieve
the Library strategy. The work done by
volunteers would offer ‘additional value’ to our
current services.

Codi Arian
Fundraising
Parhaodd ymdrechion y Llyfrgell i godi arian o
ffynonellau ychwanegol yn ystod 2010-11.
The Library’s efforts to raise money for
additional sources continued during 2010-11.
Denodd Penodau, cynllun noddwyr y Llyfrgell,
42 aelod unigol a dau aelod corfforaethol eleni.
Mae aelodau Penodau yn mwynhau rhaglen o
weithgareddau diddorol sy’n cynnwys teithiau ‘tu
ôl i’r llenni’ i weld gwaith y Llyfrgell, achlysuron
yng nghwmni siaradwyr cyfeirnod, a theithiau i
fannau o ddiddordeb diwylliannol yng Nghymru.
Chapters, the Library’s patron scheme, attracted
42 individual members and two corporate
members during the year. Members of Chapters
enjoy a programme of interesting and varied
activities that include behind-the-scenes tours
of the Library, keynote speaker events, and
excursions to places of cultural interest in Wales.
Siaradwr cyweirnod y flwyddyn oedd Terry
Jones a draddododd ddarlith hynod boblogaidd
a bywiog ar ei ddehongliad gwahanol ef o
gyfnod yr Oesoedd Canol. Ymwelodd David
Loyn, gohebydd tramor y BBC, â’r Llyfrgell yng
Ngorffennaf er mwyn traddodi darlith ddiddorol
gyda’r teitl ‘Why don’t politicians learn the
lessons of history?’. Gwahoddwyd yr aelodau
i fynychu agoriad swyddogol storfa Syr Kyffin
Williams ym mis Rhagfyr.
This year’s keynote speaker was Terry Jones,
who gave a highly popular and entertaining
lecture based on his unconventional interpretation
of the medieval period. The BBC’s foreign
correspondent David Loyn visited the Library in
July to deliver a fascinating lecture entitled ‘Why
don’t politicians learn the lessons of history?’. In
December, members were invited to attend the
official opening of the Sir Kyffin Williams store.
Trefnwyd ymweliad i Gastell Gwydir, Llanrwst,
a dymuna’r Llyfrgell ddiolch i Mr a Mrs Welford
am eu lletygarwch hael. Y mae diolch hefyd yn
ddyledus i Gerald Morgan am arwain yr aelodau
ar daith hanesyddol o Landudoch ac Aberteifi.
A visit to Gwydir Castle, Llanrwst, was arranged
and the Library wishes to thank Mr and Mrs
Welford for their generous hospitality. Thanks
are also due to Gerald Morgan, who guided
members on an historical tour of Llandudoch
and Cardigan.
Yn ystod y flwyddyn trefnwyd nifer o
ddigwyddiadau a oedd yn canolbwyntio ar waith
a chasgliadau’r Llyfrgell, gan gynnwys Archif
Genedlaethol Sgrin a Sain Cymru, yr artist Ray
Howard-Jones, y cynllun adfer negyddion, digido

Cymdeithas y Cyfeillion
Y mae Cymdeithas y Cyfeillion yn parhau
i chwarae rhan bwysig iawn ym mywyd a
chymdeithas y Llyfrgell fel y mae wedi’i wneud
ers dros hanner canrif. Ymhlith yr aelodau y
mae unigolion ymroddedig iawn sy’n gweithio’n
ddiflino i hyrwyddo’r Llyfrgell ac annog eraill
i gefnogi’r sefydliad: rydym yn wir ddiolchgar
iddynt. Nid y lleiaf o’r unigolion ymroddedig hyn
yw Dr. R. Brinley Jones, cyn Lywydd y Llyfrgell
a ymddeolodd ar ôl gwasanaeth diflino yn 2007.
Ein braint yn ystod 2011 oedd gallu penodi
Dr. Brinley Jones yn Llywydd Anrhydeddus y
Gymdeithas – y cyntaf yn ei hanes – a hynny
ar sail ei ymroddiad iddi ac i’r Llyfrgell ei hun.
Yn wir, y mae Dr. Jones ymhlith ei chyfeillion
pennaf. Wrth ei urddo’n Llywydd Anrhydeddus
braf oedd medru treulio awr ddiddan iawn yn y
Drwm a rhoi’r cyfle i’r Llywydd newydd ‘edrych
dros ei ysgwydd’ ar droeon ei yrfa a gwasanaeth
cyhoeddus diddorol a lliwgar. Bu uchafbwyntiau
eraill yn ystod y flwyddyn yn ogystal, megis ein
trip diwylliannol cyffrous i Lŷn ac Eifionydd dan
arweiniad ein Cadeirydd medrus, John Dilwyn
Williams. Roedd darlith eisteddfodol ragorol Yr
Athro John Gwynfor Jones ar Charles Octavius
Swinnerton Morgan, sef yr hynafiaethydd ac
archeolegydd o Went, yn achlysur i’w gofio a
hefyd lansio cyfrol Dr John Graham Jones ar
fywyd a gwaith Lloyd George yng nghwmni
Ffion Hague. Braf hefyd oedd medru cyflwyno
rhodd o £25,000 i’r Llyfrgell ar gyfer ailgynllunio bwyty Pen Dinas.
Association of Friends
The Association of Friends continues to play a
very important role in the life and community
of the Library as it has done for over fifty years.
The Association is very fortunate to have among
its members individuals who work tirelessly to
promote the Library and encourage others to
support the institution. Not the least of these
dedicated individuals is Dr. R. Brinley Jones,
former President of the Library who retired after
an exemplary period of service in 2007. It was
our privilege in 2011 to appoint Dr. Brinley Jones
Honorary President of the Association –
the first in its history – in recognition of his
commitment to the Association and the Library.
Indeed, Dr. Jones has been an excellent friend
to the Library over many years. During his
inauguration ceremony Dr Jones spent some time
‘looking over his shoulder’ on a most interesting
and colourful career in public service, much to
the delight of the audience. There were other
highlights during the year such as our annual
cultural trip that took us this year to Llŷn and
Eifionydd under the guidance of our Chairman,
John Dilwyn Williams. The eisteddfod lecture that
was delivered by Professor John Gwynfor Jones
on Charles Octavius Swinnerton Morgan, the
antiquarian and archaeologist from Gwent, was
an occasion to remember, as was the launch of
Dr John Graham Jones’s volume on the life and
work of Lloyd George in the company of Ffion
Hague. It was also a privilege to be able to present
the Library with a gift of £25,000 that has been
used in redesigning the Pen Dinas restaurant.

Cefndir Statudol
Statutory Background
Sefydlwyd Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru drwy
Siarter Ymgorffori Frenhinol a roddwyd ar 19 Mawrth
1907 (a Siarter Atodol gyda darpariaethau eraill ar
gyfer cyfansoddiad a rheolaeth y llyfrgell ar 5 Medi
1911). Rhoddwyd Siarteri Atodol pellach iddi ar
27 Ebrill 1978 ac ar 19 Gorffennaf 2006. Yn ystod
2010/11 fe’i hariannwyd yn bennaf gan grantiau oddi
wrth y Llywodraeth a ddarparwyd trwy Gynulliad
Cenedlaethol Cymru. Paratowyd y cyfrifon hyn
yn unol â’r Cyfarwyddyd a luniwyd gan Gynulliad
Cenedlaethol Cymru gyda chymeradwyaeth y Trysorlys
dan Adran 9(4) o Ddeddf Amgueddfeydd ac Orielau
1992. Gellir cael copi o’r Cyfarwyddyd oddi wrth y
Cyfarwyddwr Gwasanaethau Corfforaethol.
The National Library of Wales was founded by Royal
Charter of Incorporation granted 19 March 1907
(and Supplemental Charter with further provisions
for constitution and government on 5 September
1911). Further Supplemental Charters were granted
on 27 April 1978 and 19 July 2006. During 2010/11 it
was funded predominantly from Government grants
provided through the National Assembly for Wales.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance
with the Direction made by the National Assembly for
Wales with the approval of the Treasury under Section
9(4) of the Museums and Galleries Act 1992. A copy
of the Direction is available from the Director of
Corporate Services.
Mae’r Llyfrgell yn un o chwe llyfrgell adnau
cyfreithiol yn y Deyrnas Unedig ac Iwerddon.
Fe’i cymeradwywyd fel ystorfa ar gyfer cofnodion
maenoraidd gan Feistr y Rholiau yn 1926; ar gyfer
Archifau Eglwys Bresbyteraidd Cymru a adneuwyd
yn 1934 a Chofnodion yr Eglwys yng Nghymru a
adneuwyd yn 1944. Dan gyfarwyddyd yr Adran
Brofiant, trosglwyddwyd y Cofnodion Profiant
Eglwysig i’r Llyfrgell yn 1945. Yn 1960, fe’i penodwyd
yn ystorfa ar gyfer rhai cofnodion dan Ddeddf
Cofnodion Cyhoeddus 1958. Mae Atodlen 4
Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn enwi Llyfrgell
Genedlaethol Cymru fel corff a all ond ennill
swyddogaethau a hynny dim ond gyda chydsyniad.
The Library is one of six legal deposit libraries in the
United Kingdom and Ireland. It has been approved
as a repository for manorial records by the Master of
the Rolls in 1926; for the Archives of the Presbyterian
Church of Wales, deposited in 1934, and the Records
of the Church in Wales deposited in 1944. By direction
of the Probate Division the Ecclesiastical Probate
Records were transferred to the Library in 1945. In
1960 it was appointed a repository for certain records
under the Public Records Act 1958. Schedule 4 to the
Government of Wales Act 2006 names the National
Library of Wales as a body that may only gain functions
and only with consent.

Nodiadau i’r Datganiadau Ariannol Cryno
Sail ar gyfer eu Paratoi
Priod Gyfrifoldebau Bwrdd yr Ymddiriedolwyr,
y Llyfrgellydd ac Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru
Daw’r datganiad ariannol cryno hwn o’r cyfrifon
cyfunol llawn a baratowyd yn unol â Deddf
Amgueddfeydd ac Orielau 1992, a chyfarwyddiadau
Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru. Llofnodir y cyfrifon
ar ran y Bwrdd gan:
Y Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr a’r Llyfrgellydd sy’n gyfrifol
am y datganiad ariannol cryno. Fi sy’n gyfrifol am
roi fy marn i chi ynghylch y ffordd y mae wedi’i
baratoi a’i gysondeb â’r datganiadau ariannol llawn ac
adroddiad blynyddol ac adroddiad cydnabyddiaeth
ariannol yr Ymddiriedolwyr. Yr wyf hefyd yn darllen
yr wybodaeth arall yn yr adroddiad blynyddol ac
yn ystyried y goblygiadau i’m hadroddiad os dof
yn ymwybodol o unrhyw gamddatganiadau
ymddangosiadol neu anghysonderau perthnasol â’r
datganiadau ariannol cryno.

Roedd barn Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru ar
ddatganiadau ariannol blynyddol Llyfrgell
Genedlaethol Cymru ar gyfer y cyfnod a ddaeth
i ben ar 31 Mawrth 2011 yn ddiamod.
Adroddiad Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru i Gynulliad
Cenedlaethol Cymru ar y Datganiadau Ariannol Cryno
Yr wyf wedi archwilio’r datganiad ariannol cryno ar
dudalennau 3 a 4, a baratowyd ar y ffurf ac ar y sail
a amlinellir yn nodyn 1 ar dudalen 4.
Sail y Farn
Yr wyf wedi cyflawni fy ngwaith yn unol â Bwletin
2008/3 – ‘The auditors’ statement on the summary
financial statement’ a gyhoeddir gan y Bwrdd Arferion
Archwilio ar gyfer ei ddefnyddio yn y Deyrnas Unedig.
Barn
Yn fy marn i mae’r datganiad ariannol cryno’n gyson
â datganiadau ariannol llawn ac adroddiad blynyddol
Bwrdd Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru ar gyfer y cyfnod
a ddaeth i ben ar 31 Mawrth 2011 ac fe’i paratowyd
yn briodol ar y sail a nodir yn nodyn 1 y datganiad
