Examples of ABGS photos to be found in the Rhondda-Cynon-Taf Libraries Photo Archive

At the beginning of 2008, the RCT photo archive was re-launched in a new format. The images below together with
a very large number of others can be found on the RCT site. Once on the RCT site, use the Search Box to obtain
a 'gallery' of your selected photos. Click one of the thumbnails, then select "larger image".
The quality of these final images images is most impressive.

It is possible to purchase copies of any image in the RCT archive.
