Don't forget David wasn't only interested in Welsh Mines
His note books cover mines in many locations (including South
Gloucestershire) and separating them up would be difficult. I expect he
also had a wealth of information and details covering many regions. A
single depository would probably be better certainly for things like his
note books although some items specific to a location could no doubt be sent
to a relevant public record office close to that site.
The important thing is the catalogue
i.e. if a notebook of his is deposited at a record office (say in Wales) it
would be good for there to be a list of which mines it covers so that
someone from another area contained in it would at least know to go there to
find it
Regards
David

Dear Paul,
I completely agree with you on the very important point of a 'Central
Inventory'. With regards any data on Welsh mines/mining, I feel it would be
better
in many ways that such papers resided in one central place, viz., the
National Library of Wales... my thoughts anyway.
Regards, Bernard
