Collections of correspondence, papers, cuttings and memoranda relating to Wales. Some Welsh material is so bulky that it forms separate classes, e.g. classes J, K, L relating to the University, National Library, National Museum, Coleg Harlech and the Gregynog Press. The core class H consists of papers relating to the Welsh institutions and organisations to which Thomas Jones was committed. Earliest in time are the papers relating to his service with the Welsh National Memorial Association campaign against TB in Wales and with the Welsh Insurance Commission, 1911-1916. The Welsh Outlook journal and press which he helped to found, dates from the same period. The bulk of the papers relate to social service work, particularly in south Wales, the formation of educational settlements, and the preservation of rural amenities. There is a small collection of material on Welsh education and good deal of rather diffuse documentation on Welsh social and cultural organisations.
