Memorandum books and diaries

The group comprises personal diaries, 1793-1839, small pocket notebooks and almanacks, 1701-1853, of the Hughes family of Gwydir, Llwyn Gronw and Cae'r berllan, and of the Griffith family of Garn, containing memoranda and personal notes of social and work engagements, accounts, family life, health problems, snippets of local and national news, poetry, recipes, household and estate management, weather conditions, journeys, hunting, shooting and fishing, useful addresses, sketches. The memorandum books are more sporadic and miscellaneous in nature than the diaries, where the format is comparatively regular. Many of the volumes contain loose enclosures of various types.

Nature diaries

The series comprises a complete set of nature diaries which William Condry kept from his late teens, the only significant omission being a deliberate one, during the years of the Second World War. The earlier diaries are almost exclusively concerned with birds, noting the sightings, calls, nests, feeding and courtship habits, and identifying features, with occasional sketches. A gradual progression may be seen, from about 1949 onwards, as Condry developed his interest in other wildlife, and more particularly in plants, recording their habitats, individual sightings and identification, sometimes assisted by drawings. Species of birds, mammals, insects and plants are usually underlined for clarity. Accounts are given of daily events, meetings and places visited in connection with Condry's professional conservation duties and literary work. Several of the diaries contain charts of birds and butterflies recorded at Ynys-hir. Weather conditions are recorded throughout. Relevant enclosures are frequent. Some of the diaries have integral indexes, and it is evident from the other papers in the archive that the entries formed useful points of reference for the preparation of books and articles.

Office diary

The file consists of an office diary for 1994 kept by the organiser of the Labour Party Wales containing detailed notes of appointments, activities, etc.
