LLYWODRAETH CYNULLIAD CYMRU - CYMAL Eich Treftadaeth. Eich Amgueddfeydd. Eich Barn! Ddiwedd mis Mawrth 2009, bydd CyMAL: Amgueddfeydd Archifau a Llyfrgelloedd Cymru (CyMAL) yn cynnal pedwar ddigwyddiad ymgynghorier mewn partneriaeth a BVSNW (Rhwydwaith Sector Gwirfoddol I Bobl Croenddu Cymru) mwyn gofyn ichi am eich barn am ddau ddarn newydd o waith. Mae CyMAL yn gweithio ar ffordd newydd ag arloesol o gynnig mynediad ar-lein i dreftadaeth Cymru. Fe fydd Casgliad y Bobl yn cyflawni ymrwymiad Cymru'n Un o ddatblygu casgliad Hanes y Bobl Cymru gyfan. I gychwyn, casgliadau'r Amgueddfa Genedlaethol, Llyfrgell Genedlaethol a Chomisiwn Brenhinol Henebion Cymru fydd sylfaen cynnwys y safle. Y bwriad yn y pen draw fydd i bobl fedru ychwanegu eu cynnwys eu hun. Mae pum thema ddechreuol wedi eu dewis: - Straeon Cymuned: dod â hanes lleol a theuluol a straeon am gymdeithasau unigol a grwpiau ynghyd - Hanes cymdeithasol ieithoedd Cymru: archwilio hanes unigryw'r ddwy iaith genedlaethol ynghyd ag ieithoedd eraill cymunedau yng Nghymru - Sut mae merched a dynion wedi cyfrannu at hanes a diwylliant Cymru yn y cartref a'r gweithle - Sut mae chwaraeon a hamddena wedi ffurfio diwylliant a chymdeithas Cymru - Lleisiau gwahanol: sut mae allfudo, mewnfudo ac ymfudo wedi ffurfio'r genedl Yn y cyfnod cynnar hwn, rydym yn gofyn ichi sut hoffech weld y safle'n datblygu a sut y gallai'ch helpu i gofnodi eich hanes. Mae CyMAL hefyd yn datblygu Strategaeth Amgueddfeydd i Gymru, i nodi sut y gall amgueddfeydd yng Nghymru wella eu gwasanaeth i ddefnyddwyr ac ennyn diddordeb y rhai nad ydynt yn defnyddio amgueddfeydd neu sy'n eu gweld yn amherthnasol. Fe fydd y Strategaeth Amgueddfeydd yn cael ei rhyddhau at bwrpas ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus yn y dyfodol agos. Gobeithiwn y byddwch yn cymryd y cyfle hwn i'n cynorthwyo ni i lywio'r gwaith a sicrhau ei berthnasedd i chi a'ch cymuned. Byddwn yn darparu lluniaeth ac adloniant i loywi'r dydd! Ni fydd lle i lawer, felly os hoffech gofrestru eich diddordeb mewn mynychu, cysylltwch â Michael Flynn ar 02920 440185 neu [log in to unmask] Lleoliadau Dydd Llun 23rd Mawrth - Canolfan Hanes a Chelfyddydau Butetown, Caerdydd Dydd Mercher 25th Mawrth - The Globe at Hay, Y Gelli Dydd Iau 26th Mawrth - Llyfrgell Sir Gaerfyrddin Dydd Iau 2nd Ebrill - Gwesty'r Celt, caernarfon LLYWODRAETH CYNULLIAD CYMRU Strategaeth Cydlyniant Cymunedol Cymru Gyfan Mae'r Strategaeth Cydlyniant Cymunedol yn rhan o ymrwymiad Cymru'n Un gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru i sicrhau cymdeithas deg a chyfiawn. Mae ar gyfer pawb o fewn ein cymunedau ond bydd o ddiddordeb arbennig i'r rhai sy'n ysgrifennu polisïau a darparwyr gwasanaeth sy'n gobeithio gwella cydlyniant cymunedol o fewn eu maes gwaith neu ddylanwad. Ymhlith amcanion y Strategaeth mae amlygu sut mae materion cydlyniant cymunedol yn torri ar draws polisïau a gweithdrefnau Llywodraeth y Cynulliad ac yn cyfeirio'r ffordd at y dogfennau cyfreithiol, trefniadol ac ymchwil perthnasol. Ein gobaith yw y bydd hyn yn helpu rhanddeiliaid ar bob lefel i atal dyblygu diangen ac yn hwyluso'r gwaith o lywio trwy feysydd perthnasol wrth baratoi strategaeth, polisi neu brosiectau yn eu hardal. Cafodd y Strategaeth ei datblygu gennym ar y cyd â Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, y gwasanaeth heddlu, Cymdeithas Prif Swyddogion Heddlu Cymru, y Comisiwn Cydraddoldeb a Hawliau Dynol, a grwpiau fydd, ymhlith eraill.

It is now time to reflect and look forward. How is the Federation currently supporting museums? Does it need to change to meet changing objectives? These and other questions to be discussed at an open forum. Bookings by Tuesday 21st April to John Marjoram, Federation Development Officer [log in to unmask] ADRAN DROS DDIWYLLIANT, Y CYFRYNGAU A CHWARAEON Peer Review results for DCMS museums are published The results of a pilot programme to introduce a new system of self-assessment and peer review for directly sponsored museums have been published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The pilots were carried out at the National Portrait Gallery, Natural History Museum and Tyne & Wear Museums. Each museum was asked to detail its vision, its successes and its challenges. In each case the peer review was then conducted by a panel of three individuals, from both the UK and abroad and from a range of professional backgrounds. The peer reviews took place over three days and the panel reports include a critique of the self-assessment, an over-arching appraisal of the excellence across the museums functions and a set of recommendations for each museum to consider. Each museum was also asked to provide a management response to the peer review. http://www.culture.gov.uk/reference_library/media_releases/5946.aspx Culture Minister defers export of Iron Age Celtic mirror Culture Minister, Barbara Follett, has placed a temporary export bar on a rare Iron Age Celtic mirror and two associated brooches. The Minister's ruling follows a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest, administered by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). The Committee recommended that the export decision be deferred on the grounds that the mirror is closely connected with our history and national life and that it is of outstanding significance for the study of Celtic art and the Iron Age archaeology of Kent. http://www.culture.gov.uk/reference_library/media_releases/5906.aspx Culture Minister defers export of medieval manuscript Culture Minister, Barbara Follett, has placed a temporary export bar on a medieval historical manuscript known as The Courtenay Compendium. The Minister's ruling follows a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest, administered by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). The Courtenay Compendium is a late 14th-century English decorated manuscript on vellum containing significant texts of British, Near-Eastern and Far-Eastern historical accounts, including the Encomium of Queen Emma and The Travels of Marco Polo. http://www.culture.gov.uk/reference_library/media_releases/5912.aspx CYMDEITHAS YR AMGUEDDFEYDD Welsh language code of ethics now available The Museums Association has published a Welsh language version of its code of ethics, which has been updated to include changes to rules regarding disposal, as voted for by the Museums Association's members. This translation recognises Welsh speakers as part of the wider museum community. The documents will also be valuable for the many museum workers in Wales who are learning Welsh, providing them with essential vocabulary for working with Welsh speaking communities. http://www.museumsassociation.org/17994&_IXPOS_=manews1.1 http://www.museumsassociation.org/asset_arena/text/sh/codeofethics_welsh.doc Arguing the case for the importance of museums The Museums Association's New Agendas one day conference later this month will better prepare our members to argue the case for the importance of museums at local policy level, said MA president Stuart Davies. The one day conference looks at a number of issues for local authority museums, such as how to boost the profile of the museum within the local authority, how to respond to the improvement agenda, and whether trust status is a viable option for your museum.

The four qualifying museums are Ayscoughfee Hall Museum, the National Coal Mining Museum, the New Art Gallery Walsall, and Thinktank. http://www.museumsassociation.org/18087&_IXPOS_=manews1.2 Growth may not be sustainable, says Davies Growth may not be a sustainable way for museums to develop over the next decade, says MA deputy director Maurice Davies, as the MA reports on its consultation into economic, social and environmental sustainability. http://www.museumsassociation.org/18053&_IXPOS_=manews1.2 MA restructures to maintain focus on members' needs The MA has undergone a staff restructure in order to face down the effects of the economic downturn, said director Mark Taylor, while ensuring the MA maintains its independent voice and focus on the needs of its members. http://www.museumsassociation.org/18061&_IXPOS_=manews1.1 DOGFENNAETH, DIGIDEIDDIO A TGCH Copyright in a Digital World: What role for a digital rights agency? This discussion paper invites views on the role a 'digital rights agency' should play in protecting and promoting the legal use of copyright content online and how industry, consumer groups and government can work together to create an environment where investment in creativity is rewarded. http://www.ipo.gov.uk/digitalbritain.pdf HYFFORDDIANT A CHYNHADLEDDAU Open up: stored collections as a public resource - 22 July, London Approximately 90 per cent of UK museum collections are held in store: does this mean that they are underused? This conference looks at how museums can use collections that remain in store in the most creative and sustainable ways and how they can treat them as an opportunity rather than a challenge, as assets rather than stock. This conference is relevant for those thinking about the development of their collections, viewing collections and access together. It explores ways of getting people in to stored collections, not just getting collections out. http://www.museumsassociation.org/events/stored Ways Forward in Information Management For the Museum Sector - 30 Mar 2009, London We are very pleased to offer this day-long workshop (including lunch) which will examine the importance of information management and its role within the sector, provide current case studies and hold two panels discussions in which we hope you'll participate. It is aimed at a wide spectrum of museum sector professionals from small to large organisations across the UK and will be delivered by experts both within and from outside the sector.

The survey covered the whole of the UK and Crown Dependencies, with support in kind provided by Guernsey Museums Service, Jersey Heritage Trust, Manx National Heritage, The National Museums Scotland and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. The survey sought information from as many groups and interests as possible, including farmers and landowners, metal detectorists, archaeological societies and members of the general public, as well as Heritage professionals. http://tinyurl.com/nighthawking NEWYDDION - DU British music museum opens doors A new visitor attraction charting 60 years of British rock and pop music has opened at the O2 in London.

Thousands of its antiquities were stolen at that time, and only about a quarter have since been retrieved. Coalition forces had no orders to intervene, and stood by as Iraq's priceless heritage was pillaged. Many of the nation's treasures were in the museum, and analysts decried its looting as scandalous. Prime Minister Nouri Maliki was at the opening ceremony inside the museum, and described what had happened there as Iraq's "dark age". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7905000.stm Gwasanaeth Gwybodaeth Nid yw'r ffaith bod gwybodaeth trydydd parti wedi'i chynnwys yng Ngwasanaeth Gwybodaeth Amgueddfeydd CyMAL yn golygu bod CyMAL yn ei chymeradwyo.
