BackgroundMonmouthshire Record Office was established in 1938 at the Shire Hall in Newport. Following local government reorganisation in 1974, it became the Gwent County Record Office and moved to the newly built County Hall in Cwmbran.[1] In October 2011 the record office moved from Cwmbran to a newly developed site in Ebbw Vale and was renamed Gwent Archives.[2] LocationThe Gwent Archives are housed in the Grade II* listed office buildings of Ebbw Vale Steelworks. The red brick building with its tall clock tower was built in 1915/6 for the Ebbw Vale Iron and Steel Company.[3] In 2009 plans were approved for architects Stride Treglown to convert the building into a headquarters for Gwent Record Office, with a new extension, exhibition and educational facilities.[4][5] The building was finished off with a bilingual poem specially written by the National Poet of Wales, Gillian Clarke, which is partially reproduced on the facade of the new extension.[6] HoldingsGwent Archives has a photograph store and two main strongrooms with 6 miles (10 km) of shelving,[7] containing records going back as far as the 12th-century. The new wing has a double roof to help keep a stable temperature and environment.[8] The Ebbw Vale Steelworks Archive Trust, a voluntary group which preserves the history of the industry in the area, is also based at the Archives.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.culture24.org.uk/am482316 |title=Gwent Archives |publisher=Culture24 |accessdate=16 February 2016 }} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/gwentnews/9278046.Gwent_records_office_to_open_next_month/ |title=Gwent records office to open next month |work=South Wales Argus | date=29 September 2011 |accessdate=16 February 2016 }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-22530-british-steel-tinplate-works-general-offi#.VsOWI0BRSx0 |title=British Steel Tinplate Works General Office, Ebbw Vale South |publisher=British Listed Buildings |accessdate=16 February 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.bdonline.co.uk/stride-treglown%E2%80%99s-gwent-record-office-gets-green-light/3145811.article |title=Stride Treglown’s Gwent Record Office gets green light |work=Building Design | date=28 July 2009 |accessdate=16 February 2016 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.stridetreglown.com/en/sectors/public-and-community/public-buildings/1735-gwent-archive-and-genealogy-centre.html |title=Gwent Archive and Genealogy Centre |publisher=Stride Treglown |accessdate=16 February 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/wales/entries/51dbcaa6-7402-3b15-a161-db0a5c0c1d78 |title=Gillian Clarke pens new poem for opening of Gwent Archives |publisher=BBC Wales blog | date=9 December 2011 |accessdate=16 February 2016 }} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/new-gwent-archives-centre-launches |title=New Gwent archives centre launches |work=Who Do You Think You Are?
