Good news. There was a bit of downtime on Friday, but the upgrade previously announced should be ready and there is a brief report to go with that - codecs.vanhamel.nl/Show:CODECS/...

Mae ‘Dwned’, cylchgrawn llên a llawysgrifau Cymru hyd 1800, ar gael ar lein (yn cynnwys y rhifynnau gwreiddiol print) 📚

‘Dwned’, a journal about the literature and manuscripts of Wales up to 1800, is available online (including the original print issues) 📚

A little announcement to start the year: over the next few days all sites of the Van Hamel Foundation (CODECS included) will go offline for an upgrade and unless anything unforeseen happens, should be back up within a week or so.
