Gwent Archives will receive over £14,000 of Welsh Government funding to help conserve fragile and damaged items in the club’s collections, thanks to a partnership with the National Manuscripts Conservation Trust.   


The conservation work will open up access to the fascinating history of one of Wales’ first integrated sports clubs, whose origins date back to 1875\. 

  


Conservation work will be undertaken on a series of minute books, 28 postcards and 148 letters and telegrams sent to the club by members fighting during the First World War.

  


Economy Secretary Ken Skates said:

  



> “This unique archive not only provides an insight into  Newport’s sporting heritage, it also shines a light on the influence of the club on the development of Welsh rugby.  The collection will appeal to sporting historians, anyone associated with distinguished former club members, and all those with an interest in the experiences of soldiers during the First World War.

Since 2008 the NMCT, in partnership with the Welsh Government, has supported 39 projects and has conserved items and collections of national and international importance held by archives across Wales.  

Lord Egremont, Chairman of the National Manuscripts Conservation Trust, said:  


> “We are delighted that NMCT's collaboration with Welsh Government has once again enabled the preservation of an outstanding collection of material. We were pleased to support an archive that is so important to the history of sport in Wales”.

Tony Hopkins, Gwent county archivist said: 


> “This is a truly exciting project. Newport is a club not only famed for its rugby but one that has had an immense influence on the development of sport in Wales. We are grateful to the NMCT for helping us preserve this unique archive.”

Newport Cricket, Athletic and Football Club was formed as the first integrated sports club in Wales. It became Newport Athletic Club in 1895/6, by which time it ran a wide range of sports and many individuals connected with the club had earned distinction in various sports. Richard Mullock represented the club at the formation of the Amateur Athletic Association in 1880\. Wyatt Gould hurdled for Great Britain in the 1908 Olympics and played rugby for Newport and two of his brothers captained the Welsh rugby team, one of them being Arthur, the first rugby ‘superstar’.

Bydd Archifau Gwent yn cael dros £14,000 gan Lywodraeth Cymru i helpu i gadw ac adfer eitemau bregus a difrodedig yng nghasgliadau'r clwb, diolch i bartneriaeth â'r Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol Cadw Llawysgrifau.    


Bydd y gwaith cadwraeth yn agor y drws i hanes diddorol un o glybiau chwaraeon integredig cyntaf Cymru, sy'n dyddio yn ôl i 1875\. 

  


Caiff gwaith cadwraeth ei gynnal ar gyfres o lyfrau cofnodion, 28 o gardiau post a 148 o lythyrau a thelegramau a anfonwyd at y clwb gan aelodau oedd yn ymladd yn y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. 

  


Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates: 

  



> "Yn ogystal â'n helpu i ddeall treftadaeth Casnewydd ym myd y campau yn well, mae'r archif unigryw'n taflu goleuni ar ddylanwad y clwb ar ddatblygiad rygbi yng Nghymru. Bydd y casgliad yn apelio at haneswyr chwaraeon, unrhyw un sy'n gysylltiedig â'r clwb a phawb sydd â diddordeb ym mhrofiadau milwyr o'r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf.

Ers 2008, mae'r NMCT, mewn cydweithrediad â Llywodraeth Cymru, wedi cefnogi 39 o brosiectau ac wedi diogelu eitemau a chasgliadau o bwys cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol sy'n cael eu cadw mewn archifdai ar hyd a lled Cymru. 

Dywedodd yr Arglwydd Egremont, Cadeirydd yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol Cadw Llawysgrifau: 


> "Rydym yn hynod falch bod NMCT, trwy gydweithio â Llywodraeth Cymru, wedi llwyddo unwaith eto i ddiogelu casgliad arbennig arall. Mae'n bleser cael helpu archif sydd mor bwysig i hanes chwaraeon yng Nghymru".

Dywedodd Tony Hopkins, archifydd sir Gwent: 


> "Mae hwn yn brosiect wirioneddol gyffrous. Yn ogystal â bod yn enwog am ei rygbi, mae clwb Casnewydd wedi cael dylanwad aruthrol ar ddatblygiad chwaraeon yng Nghymru. Rydym yn ddiolchgar i'r NMCT am ein helpu i warchod yr archif unigryw hon."

Cafodd Clwb Criced, Athletau a Phêl\-droed Casnewydd ei ffurfio fel y clwb chwaraeon integredig cyntaf yng Nghymru. Cafodd yr enw Clwb Athletig Casnewydd ym 1895/6\.  Erbyn hynny, roedd yn cynnal amrywiaeth eang o gampau ac roedd llawer o aelodau wedi mynd i'r brig yn eu camp. Cynrychiolodd Richard Mullock y clwb pan ffurfiwyd y Gymdeithas Athletig Amatur ym 1880\. Rhedodd Wyatt Gould dros y clwydi dros Brydain yn Chwaraeon Olympaidd 1908 a chwarae rygbi i Gasnewydd, a bu dau o'i frodyr yn gapteniaid tîm rygbi Cymru.  Arthur Gould oedd un o'r brodyr hynny, seren gynta'r byd rygbi.
