Llên y Pethau Byw (the lore of living things) This gives and accepts records based on a species (rhywogaeth).

Llên yr hin This is weather lore, eg “red sky at night, shepherds delight” including the area of origin of records.

Llên y llefydd (place-name lore) Records based on a place name related mainly to the environment , especially those which are historical and not on current maps (eg. field names, rock names etc) with an opportunity to explain obscure meanings.

Chwiliwch yn y gronfa (Search the databases) This leads you to the above 5 databases for searching

Dyddiadur (Diary) You will see a three-coloured menu representing a word search (red), a date delimitation (blue) and choices for ordering the data (green). These work in combination.

Searching the remaining four databases involve simple word searches across a number of fields

Llais (voice) This is the Oral History collection. Click the place icon on the map which corresponds to the portrait of the speech subject (if available) and brief biographical information on the speech subject, and then choose from the available speech files.

Oriel (gallery) This is the picture gallery in which you may search for pictures under title or caption content or input your pictures from your own files. It is assumed that most pictures are contributed freely for unrestricted use on condition that the contributor is acknowledged. However you may wish to place additional restrictions on further use of your photograph by asking for it to be labeled DAN HAWLFRAINT (“under copyright”).
