From Warfare to Welfare (MYGLYW) is an exciting project based in the National Library of Wales that explores life in Wales between 1939 and 1959. Many aspects of everyday life and living in the war zones during this period are presented and encompassed in 3 broad themes:  

• Leisure and new technology: the effect of rationing during and after the Second World War, the increase in consumer goods and accessibility of leisure activities
• Work and employment: how the Second World War affected the world of work and the changes in the rural economy in post war Wales
• Society and politics: national identity and active community engagement in post war Wales

The MYGLYW project has four main elements which are featured in this website:

• Digital stories
• Digitising images from the Geoff Charles Photographic Collection 
• Digital Gallery showcasing the lives and achievements of famous Welsh people during the period in question
  
• Activities and supporting resources, such as sixth-form conferences, digital stories workshops and educational packs based on the 3 themes for secondary schoolteachers

Further information and educational resources will appear on the website in the coming months, in the meantime for more information on MYGLYW contact us.
