Mae Casgliadau Arbennig ac Archifau Prifysgol Caerdydd – gyda chymorth ariannol hael gan Ganolfan Idealaeth Brydeinig a Collingwood – yn cynnal cynhadledd dau ddiwrnod o hyd i ddathlu Archif Collingwood a’r prosiect blwyddyn o hyd i’w rhestru. Bydd y gynhadledd yn hyrwyddo ysgolheictod ym maes astudiaethau Collingwood yn ogystal â chodi proffil Archif Collingwood ymhlith darpar ymchwilwyr.
Mae Archif Collingwood – sydd yng ngofal Prifysgol Caerdydd ac yn rhychwantu 60 o flychau a phedair cenhedlaeth – yn archif deuluol sy’n perthyn i deulu o artistiaid, archaeolegwyr ac ysgrifenwyr rhyfeddol, sy’n enwog ar draws y byd. Mae'n cynnwys miloedd o lythyrau sy'n dyddio o'r 18fed ganrif (gan gynnwys llythyrau John Ruskin, Arthur Ransome, E. M. Forster a Beatrix Potter), dyddiaduron, brasluniau, llyfrau ryseitiau personol, ffotograffau, llyfrau stori â lluniau, a gwaith celf rhagorol gan gynnwys portreadau bychain prydferth a thirweddau trawiadol o Ardal y Llynnoedd a Gwlad yr Iâ. Yn ei hanfod, mae'r archif yn drysorfa o ddeunyddiau unigryw sydd heb fod ar gael at ddibenion rhyngweithio cyhoeddus i raddau helaeth tan yn ddiweddar. Mae profiadau a diddordebau amrywiol y teulu yn rhychwantu celf a hanes celf, archaeoleg, pensaernïaeth, hedfan, astudiaethau Gwlad yr Iâ, athroniaeth, astudiaethau Ransome, astudiaethau Ruskin, a llawer iawn o bynciau eraill. Yn y gynhadledd ddathliadol hon, byddwn yn cyflwyno papurau amrywiol gan ymchwilwyr nodedig i adlewyrchu’r amrywiaeth gyfoethog o bynciau a gynrychiolir gan Archif Collingwood. Bydd y gynhadledd hefyd yn cyd-daro â lansiad ein harddangosfa ddathliadol o drysorau Archif Collingwood. Gyda chymorth arian o’r National Cataloguing Grant (Archifau Cenedlaethol y DU) a’r National Manuscripts Conservation Trust i agor yr archif drwy restru a gwarchod, yr arddangosfa hon fydd y tro cyntaf i lawer o eitemau gwych Archif Collingwood fod ar gael i’r cyhoedd eu gweld. |

Cardiff University Special Collections and Archives, with generous support and funding from the British Idealism and Collingwood Centre, is hosting a two-day conference to celebrate the Collingwood Archive and the year-long project to catalogue it. The conference will promote scholarship in the field of Collingwood studies and raise the profile of the Collingwood Archive to potential researchers.
Spanning 60 boxes and four generations, the Collingwood Archive held by Cardiff University is the family archive of a world-famous family of remarkable artists, archaeologists and writers. It includes thousands of letters dating from the 18th century (including from John Ruskin, Arthur Ransome, E. M. Forster and Beatrix Potter), diaries, sketches, personal recipe books, photographs, illustrated story books and outstanding artwork including beautiful miniature portraits and stunning landscapes of the Lake District and Iceland. In short, it is a treasure trove of distinctive materials that have, until recently, been largely inaccessible to public interaction. The family’s diverse interests and experiences span art and art history, archaeology, architecture, aviation, Icelandic studies, philosophy, Ransome studies, Ruskin studies, and many more subjects beside. At this celebratory conference, we will present varied papers from distinguished researchers to reflect the rich variety of topics represented in the Collingwood Archive. The conference will also coincide with the launch of our celebratory exhibition of treasures from the Collingwood Archive. Thanks to funds received from the National Cataloguing Grant (UK National Archives) and the National Manuscript Conservation Trust to open up the archive through cataloguing and conservation, this exhibition will be the first time many of the magnificent items from the Collingwood Archive will be available for public viewing. |
