Helo, fy enw i yw Jen ac rwy'n Swyddog Prosiect Gwirfoddoli Digidol ar brosiect cyffrous iawn sy'n cael ei redeg ar y cyd gan Archifau Gwent, Archifau Morgannwg a Chasgliadau Arbennig ac Archifau Prifysgol Caerdydd. Fe'i hariennir gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol a bydd mynediad trwy lwyfan torfol a sefydlwyd gan Lyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru. Bydd y prosiect hwn o ddiddordeb mawr i’r rhai sydd bob amser wedi bod eisiau ymwneud â gwirfoddoli gydag archifau De Cymru ond nad ydynt yn gallu teithio i unrhyw un o’r safleoedd.

 

Rydyn ni’n gwbl ddigidol, felly does dim ots ble rydych chi cyn belled â bod gennych chi fynediad ar-lein, a gallwch chi gyfrannu cyn lleied neu gymaint o amser ag y dymunwch!

 

Bydd y prosiect yn creu llwyfan ar-lein dwyieithog i wirfoddolwyr o bell dagio, anodi a disgrifio’r casgliadau treftadaeth ddigidol a gedwir o fewn y cadwrfeydd eithriadol hyn. Mae gwasanaethau archifau ledled Cymru yn cadw miliynau o gofnodion unigryw, ond mae llawer ohonynt wedi’u catalogio’n fach iawn ac felly’n anodd eu hadnabod a’u canfod. Bydd y prosiect hwn yn harneisio gwybodaeth unigolion mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru a thu hwnt i gyfoethogi ein treftadaeth gyfunol er budd cenedlaethau’r presennol a’r dyfodol – yn lleol, yn genedlaethol ac yn fyd-eang.

 

Daw'r llun sydd ynghlwm o Ffotograffau Cymunedol Dociau Caerdydd a gedwir yn Archifau Morgannwg. Portreadau yw’r rhain o unigolion a grwpiau, o gymuned dociau Caerdydd, a dynnwyd rhwng 1900-1920. Cymerwyd llawer ohonynt gan Fred Petersen o Stryd Bute, dyn o Ddenmarc (o Copenhagen) a ymsefydlodd yng Nghaerdydd rywbryd ar ddiwedd y 19eg ganrif. Mae'r casgliad hwn yn un yn unig o lawer y mae partneriaid y prosiect yn bwriadu ei ddarparu i wirfoddolwyr ei archwilio a gweithio arno.

Cofiwch gysylltu os hoffech gymryd rhan!

 

Hello there, my name is Jen and I'm Digital Volunteering Project Officer on a very exciting project run jointly by Gwent Archives, Glamorgan Archives and Cardiff University Special Collections & Archives. It's funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and access will be  via a crowdsourcing platform established by the National Library Wales. This project will be of great interest to those who have always wanted to become involved volunteering with South Wales archives but are unable to travel to any of the sites.

We are completely digital, so it doesn’t matter where you are as long as you have online access and you can contribute as little or as much time as you like!

The project will create a bilingual online platform for remote volunteers to tag, annotate and describe the digital heritage collections held within these exceptional repositories. Archive services across Wales hold millions of irreplaceable records, but many are only minimally catalogued and therefore difficult to identify and find. This project will harness the knowledge of individuals in communities across Wales and beyond to enrich our collective heritage for the benefit of current and future generations – locally, nationally, and globally.

Image attached is from the Cardiff Dockland Community Photographs held at Glamorgan Archives. These are portraits of individuals and groups, from Cardiff dockland community, taken between 1900-1920. Many of them were taken by Fred Petersen of Bute Street, a Danish man (from Copenhagen) who settled in Cardiff some time at the end of the 19th century. This collection is just one of many the project partners plan to make available for volunteers to explore and work on. 

Please do get in touch if you'd like to take part!
