'Offa's Dyke'

The file comprises a newsletter, 1995, containing an article of Condry's which the Offa's Dyke Association had previously obtained his permission to reprint, together with related information leaflets and visitor guides.

Snowdonia

The file comprises proofs of Snowdonia published in 1987 and four small notebooks, entitled 'Snowdonia National Park', 'Snowdonia 2', 'Eryru (sic)', and 'Meadows', which together formed the foundation of the book, containing bibliographic references, historical notes, public access and routes by footpath or road for visitors to the Snowdonia National Park, geology, mining history, notes for preparation of the gazetteer and the selection of photographs to accompany the text, birds and plants, including detailed notes on Woodsias and their propagation, mountain railways and descriptions of places of outstanding scenery, with dates when various sites were visited by Condry, 1984-1985. All four notebooks contain similar material; the title of the last one,`Meadows', may be inapplicable.

Wildlife in Our Welsh Parish

The file comprises a typescript Welsh version of the text, translated by R. S. Thomas from the English original, 1993, which appears to be missing, a separate, English version of the foreword, and a complete edition of Wildlife in Our Welsh Parish [Eglwys-fach], containing a tribute to Condry, published in 2000.

Thomas, R. S. (Ronald Stuart), 1913-2000

'Early Essays'

The file consists of items grouped by the author under the title `Early Essays', which do not appear to be specifically connected with the other books listed in this series and which include: handwritten observations on birds in remote areas of Powys, 1946; an amended typescript of an essay entitled 'Birdwatching in Central Wales' [c.1948]; four small bundles, comprising a season by season description of birds, animals and plants, starting in spring 1949, partly in diary form, combined with more detailed notes on individual species, sources, bibliography and author's projects, which appear to have been intended for a book entitled A Birdwatcher's Year in Wales; loose notes with headings March to July and September [1962 or later], which include remarks on the seasons, wildlife observations, outlines for chapters and illustrations; an amended typescript of the first two chapters of an intended book, Swallow Days, with a speculative letter to a publisher, 1962; a manuscript essay on the short-eared owl by Condry's friend, Ray Perry; and a letter from Irene (Benjamin) Vaughan, 1961, on daffodil species.

Country Life articles

The series consists mainly of the finished, printed articles, frequently illustrated with Condry's own photographs, extracted from the magazines, 1957-1991. They are accompanied by occasional typescript drafts and handwritten notes, which sometimes indicate the author's intention to alter or re-use certain pieces for future projects.
