Gohebiaeth a chopïau o ohebiaeth, 1929-1944, yn bennaf rhwng Swyddfa Ranbarthol Cymdeithas Addysg y Gweithwyr, a leolwyd yng Ngholeg Prifysgol Cymru, Bangor, a Choleg Harlech, ynghyd â gohebiaeth oddi wrth bencadlys Cymdeithas Addysg y Gweithwyr yn Llundain (prif ohebydd Ernest Green, ysgrifennydd cyffredinol y Gymdeithas) at y Swyddfa Ranbarthol a gohebiaeth rhwng y Swyddfa Ranbarthol a darpar-fyfyrwyr Coleg Harlech. Bu'r Swyddfa Ranbarthol dan ysgrifenyddiaeth Robert (Silyn) Roberts hyd ei farwolaeth ar 15 Awst 1930, pryd y cymerwyd yr awennau gan Mary Silyn Roberts. Bu cysylltiad agos erioed rhwng Cymdeithas Addysg y Gweithwyr a Choleg Harlech hyd nes, yn 2001, fe gyfunwyd y ddau fudiad. Prif ohebwyr Coleg Harlech yw'r warden, Ben Bowen Thomas, a'r cadeirydd, Dr Thomas Jones. Sefydlwyd yr ysgoloriaeth a gyfeirir ati gan Dr Thomas Jones yn ei lythyr dyddiedig 25 Tachwedd 1934 er cof am ei fab, Elphin Lloyd Jones, a fu farw trwy ddamwain yn ddeuddeg oed (gweler, er enghraifft, Eirene White Papers yn LlGC). = Correspondence and copies of correspondence, 1929-1944, primarily between the District Office of the Workers' Educational Association, located at the University College of Wales, Bangor, and Coleg Harlech, together with correspondence from the Workers' Educational Association headquarters in London (main correspondent Ernest Green, general secretary of the Association) to the District Office and correspondence between the District Office and prospective Coleg Harlech students. The District Office was under the secretaryship of Robert (Silyn) Roberts until his death on 15 August 1930, after which the rôle was taken over by Mary Silyn Roberts. A close alliance had always existed between the Workers' Educational Association (WEA) and Coleg Harlech, the two bodies eventually merging in 2001. Coleg Harlech's primary correspondents are its warden, Ben Bowen Thomas, and its chairman, Dr Thomas Jones. The scholarship referenced by Dr Thomas Jones in his letter dated 25 November 1934 was established in memory of Dr Jones' son, Elphin Lloyd Jones, who died in an accident aged twelve years old (see, for example, Eirene White Papers at NLW).
