This week was one for celebration as the Library's voluntary work on the Welsh Women's Peace Petition digitisation project was 'highly commended' at the ARA (Archives and Records Association) Archives Volunteering Awards.
Bethan Rees, Digital Program Manager of the National Library of Wales said:
"It is an honor for the National Library of Wales to receive high praise from the judges of the ARA Archives Volunteering Award 2025 for the extraordinary work done by our volunteers in transcribing the names and addresses on the Welsh Women's Peace Petition. This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of our volunteers.
Not only has their work left a lasting legacy, but it has also built a bridge between the past and the present, reminding us that there is a story behind every name that deserves to be remembered."
