Archif Menywod Cymru/Women’s Archive of Wales promotes the recognition of women in Welsh history and the preservation of sources of women’s history in Wales. It was founded in 1997 as a result of research by Ursula Masson and Avril Rolph at the then University of Glamorgan (now USW/PDC), into the history of the Women’s Liberation Movement. Their work demonstrated the need to collect and preserve the records of women’s history. AMC/WAW has a long and valued association with the Centre and has generously sponsored the annual Ursula Masson Memorial lecture since its inception.
