Course Title: How can Special Collections support my research
Course Description:
Special Collections are collections of books, journals and other materials considered important
enough to be preserved for future generations, and are kept separately from the more mainstream
collections.
Visit the South Wales Miners’ Library (SWML) on the Hendrefoelan Campus to look at the rich and
diverse Special Collections we hold. Discover how these, and Special Collections held in other
University libraries, can be accessed and used in your research.
The SWML is located at the top of the student village on the Hendrefoelan Campus
