Llandaff 2000 (Archive Photographs: Images of Wales) ( Editura: Tempus Publishing/Books Outlet, Autor: Llandaff Society ISBN 9780752416007 )

When compiling their first book in the Archive Photographs Series in 1996 the Llandaff Society team felt the lack of a comprehensive collection of pictures giving an idea of life in the nineteenth century. They have now compiled an archive for the end of the twentieth century, hoping this will benefit students in the future. Including bird and plant surveys, more than 3, 000 photographs and the replies to a questionnaire delivered to every household in the Llandaff Ward, this archive has been deposited in the County Record Office, where all except the personal replies (which are embargoed for 100 years) may be consulted.

Selected from such a massive collection, this present sequence of photographs and the archive exhibition look at different aspects of the village-city now incorporated in the capital city of Wales. The difference of age and style of the buildings, work and recreation, natural history, events connected with the Cathedral, state occasions and hobbies - everyone will find something of interest and perhaps some surprises in the variety of images and statistics here presented.
