Training

We offer free courses, covering subjects from copyright to practical digitising skills.

Equipment loan

Your Group or Community can loan free of charge various equipment from us to make it possible for you to digitise your collection and contribute to our website. We have equipment available for digitising 2D objects and slides, recording oral history with audio and video equipment, and for creating digital stories.

All we ask is that you adhere to our Loan Policy and that you are able to pick up and return the equipment to the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth or the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff.

Contact us to request an equipment loan.

Other Community Initiatives

We are establishing Digital Heritage Stations across Wales in partnership with organisations and groups willing to help, offering a sustainable legacy to communities, as well as provide the public with free access to IT and digitisation facilities.
