Crufts begins today in Birmingham. This photo shows two children with their pet dog. Itโ€™s one of a number in the collection featuring children and families with their pets. The photos were taken in Maesteg during the early part of the 20th century but other than that we know very little about them.

Itโ€™s been great to welcome two classes from Willowbrook Primary in St Mellons to the Archives this week.

They visited to find out more about life in Cardiff during the Second World War. And they also got to take a peek behind the scenes into the strongrooms. We hope you enjoyed!

Mae wedi bod yn hyfryd croesawi dau ddosbarth o Ysgol Gynradd Willowbrook yn Llaneirwg iโ€™r Archifau'r wythnos yma.

Nod yr ymweliad oedd darganfod mwy am fywyd yng Nghaerdydd yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Hefyd, cafwyd cyfle i gael cip tu รดl iโ€™r llen iโ€™r ystafelloedd sicr. Gobeithio i chi fwynhau!
