In addition to David Melding's book there is the text of Lord Crickhowell's 2006 Welsh Political Archive Lecture on the subject <a href="http://www.llgc.org.uk/fileadmin/documents/pdf/Darlith_archif_wleidyddol_2006_S.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>, but it hasn't escaped criticism (he came in for a savaging from me on the night, among others). <br /><br />If there is anybody out there who is doing anything along these lines, I would have thought Gerard Charmley, a PhD student at Swansea, would at least know about it. If you're genuinely interested in the subject, he'd be the one to get in touch with.<br /><br />Hope that's of interest, and the workload eases up a bit soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
