The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum (which has PRO approval as a repository for
public records) based in Caernarfon has approached us to discuss, very
tentatively, the middle- to long-term possibilities of providing services
either jointly or separately from a joint site; they do not foresee a mere
deposit arrangement, but rather a partnership which could draw down funding
from various sources to extend our present record office, with both
institutions having staff on site, and possibly a joint search room. Their
museum galleries would remain in Caernarfon Castle.
There are obviously attractions of economies of scale and also the symbiotic
relationship could appeal to funders rather more than seeing two archives in
one small Welsh town.
We would be very glad to hear of any arrangements between record offices and
regimental museums/archives which go beyond mere deposit of records or other
superficial co-operation. Both us at Gwynedd Archives and our friends in the
RWF museum would be interested to hear of benefits or drawbacks in any such
arrangements. Any replies would be appreciated, off-list.
