The Glamorgan History Society has concerned itself over the last fifty years with nurturing the study of  all aspects of the history of Glamorgan, within the wider context of the history of Wales.

The Society has just published the fifty second edition of  its journal, Morgannwg,   which contains a rich collection of articles on history of Glamorgan within the wider context of  Welsh history. Whether written by academics or lay people the standard of  work is always excellent and highly regarded by professional and amateur alike.
