The
BHAC archive has grown from community interest and activity
over more than a decade. Informal family snaps, proud photos
of home and jobs, formal studio portraits and images of celebrated
personalities, before fame claimed them, have all been donated
to the Centre.
On
this foundation the collection has expanded with material
from local industries, shipping firms and companies that made
their fortunes in Butetown and the Docks. All these images
provide a kaleidascope of a time when Cardiff Bay was known
to the world over as Tiger Bay.
BHAC
is creating a Bay People's Archive by collecting and cataloguing:
- Old
photographs
- Audio
taped oral recollections from Butetown's older residents
and former residents, including 150 life histories
- Video
taped life history recollections
- A
collection of old documents and artefacts, e.g. seamen's
discharge papers, passports, immigration cards, ration books,
boarding house ledgers
- A
small library of pertinent books, reports and theses
The
Archive and Collection will be an invaluable resource for
educational and research purposes for generations to come
