The University of South Wales (formerly the Polytechnic of Wales) is a multi-disciplinary vocational-focused university with campuses in Cardiff, Newport and Pontypridd. It was established in 2013 following the merger of the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport. The University's origins can be traced back to 1841, when the Newport Mechanics Institute was founded to provide further education for workers and tradesmen. The Institute underwent several transformations before becoming Glamorgan Polytechnic in 1970, which then merged with the Glamorgan College of Education in Barry and was re-designated as the Polytechnic of Wales in 1975. In April 2013, the University of South Wales was formed following a merger of the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport. (https://www.southwales.ac.uk/about/our-history/)
The Centre for the Study of Welsh Writing in English was established in what was then the Polytechnic of Wales, now the University of South Wales, to promote interest and study in the literary works of Wales written in English (also known as Anglo-Welsh literature) by providing a comprehensive collection of books and magazines and by housing an archive of manuscripts and videos about the writers of Wales. The Centre is housed at the University's Treforest campus library. (https://findit.southwales.ac.uk/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=44WHELF_USW:44WHELF_USW_NUI1&collectionId=8172651410002424)
