Archive of the month

This year, we continue with our Archive of the Month feature by highlighting interesting items from our collections that make us different from other institutions throughout Wales.

Occasionally, during 2020-2021, items of relevance to the theme "Outdoors" will be picked in order to reinforce the strengths of the Archives and Special Collections when it comes to adventure, sports, landscapes etc.

Two images from the Records of the University College of North Wales [now Bangor University] and one from the Coleg Normal photographic collection.

- Photograph and names of the Normal College, Bangor soccer team, 1921-22. The Normal College specialised in teacher training and this photograph was taken in front of ‘Hen Goleg’.

- A formal photograph of U.C.N.W. women’s hockey team, 1906-1907. Notice the attire and the lucky mascot sitting on the floor!
