Field notebooks

The series comprises small notebooks which Condry carried with him, recording descriptions of places visited, observations on wildlife, particularly birds and plants, geology, industry, historical landmarks, archaeology, personal reminders, ideas for writing and lecturing, photography, bibliographies, useful contacts and conservation issues, 1952-1994. The main geographical areas covered are Bardsey Island, Cader Idris, Cardiganshire and Merionethshire. An index to the series is provided., compiled by Ceridwen Lloyd-Morgan, 2013.

Finding aids and research notes

The series comprises Condry's card indexes relating to animal, bird and plant life, topography, geology, ecology, habitats, tourism, travel, landscape history, the author's own diaries, his published works and numerous bibliographic references. Most of them refer to Wales, but some of them are indicative of his interest in African wildlife and plants. Many of the entries are expanded with insertions of relevant notes, correspondence and printed articles, 1930-1998.

Lectures and radio/television scripts

The section comprises notes and slide lists for lectures given to extra-mural classes, natural history societies and other groups at different locations throughout mid-Wales, and in Shropshire, 1966-1993, and scripts for radio and television programmes, 1948-1980, together with relevant correspondence. Subjects include ecological and environmental issues, conservation, nature reserves, geology and topography.

Natural History Papers

The section comprises loose, handwritten and typed notes, notebook, binders, substantial correspondence, photographs, vegetation samples, circulars, press cuttings, maps, loose printed articles, offprints and information leaflets, accumulated during work in natural history and conservation. The material is indicative of Condry's dedicated and detailed approach to research concerning plants, birds, animals and their different habitats. It is obvious that some of the information which he gathered represented an extension of his personal interests and was used for the compilation of books and articles. -- The main subjects comprise botany, ecology, geology, zoology and the work of other naturalists, such as Evan Price Evans, Mary Richards and Evan Roberts. Regular correspondents include Peter Benoit, E. H. T. Bible, Arthur Chater, Dafydd Davies, Evan Price Evans, Jack Grasse, Dewi Jones, Derek Ratcliffe, Mary Richards, Richard H. Roberts, Morrey Salmon, H. R. H. Vaughan and Irene Vaughan.
