The Dobell-Moseley Library

The Dobell-Moseley Library is dedicated to the development of library and document facilities for students, researchers and to answer enquiries from the general public.

 

This facility, sited within the Pontypool Museum building, thus contains Torfaen Museum Trust�s archive and archive resources including documents, posters, papers maps and plans, tithe map copy and local newspapers.  The extensive photograph collection is also housed within the library.  The documents, books and paper ephemera in the Dobell-Moseley collection are works associated with local authors and the social and industrial archaeology and history of the Eastern Valley.  Recently the Library has also commenced a programme of collecting books, papers and journals relating to museology, area guides and initiatives, video and audio tapes (including oral history recordings).

The Dobell-Moseley Library is currently staffed entirely by volunteers, with support and advice from museum curatorial and administrative staff.  Enquiries, searches and general information can be researched by the staff on the Blaenafon - Pontypool - Cwmbran area and the Library is also available for all researchers by appointment at the times listed below.
