Mae datblygu’r prosiect ymchwil drwy gynhyrchu ar y cyd gyda’r Grŵp Llywio - sy’n cynnwys staff o bob rhan o Gymru - wedi ein helpu i ymgysylltu’n llwyddiannus â llyfrgellwyr sy’n aml yn rhy brysur neu’n rhy anghysbell yn ddaearyddol i gael
eu cynnwys mewn cynllunio a thrafodaeth broffesiynol. Wrth i ddatblygu'r hyfforddiant fynd rhagddo, bydd y Grŵp Llywio yn gallu gweld eu casgliadau amrywiol fel arfau cymunedol pwerus ar gyfer ymgysylltu unigol a chymunedol ac ar gyfer
cyd-gynhyrchu naratifau hanesyddol newydd.

Yn ogystal â bwydo i mewn i’r modelau hyfforddi ac ymchwil cynnwys, ymgymerodd y Grŵp Llywio â hyfforddiant ar-lein pwrpasol gan Marian Gwyn. Aeth yr hyfforddiant, 'Cefnogi Cynllun Gweithredu Gwrth-Hiliaeth Cymru mewn llyfrgelloedd yng Nghymru',
â ni drwy hanes y fasnach gaethweision ar draws Môr yr Iwerydd a'i chysylltiadau â Chymru, gan ysgogi sgyrsiau am wrth-hiliaeth a chymunedau a chasgliadau llyfrgell. Disgrifiwyd yr hyfforddiant gan un cyfranogwr fel rhywbeth “gwirioneddol
werthfawr, ac yn gwbl addas ac ymarferol i lyfrgelloedd”.
Yn ogystal, trefnwyd cyfarfod Grŵp Llywio wyneb yn wyneb ym Mae Colwyn lle roeddem yn gallu arbrofi gyda'r syniadau a'r arferion gorau y byddem yn
awr yn disgwyl i'r hyfforddiant a gomisiynwyd gennym i'w ddatblygu. Drwy ymgysylltu â grwpiau a sefydliadau lleol, a chyrff strategol cenedlaethol yng Nghymru, cawsom i gyd ymdeimlad o'r dulliau a'r cydweithio gwrth-hiliol posibl y gall
llyfrgelloedd eu gwneud.
Developing the research project via co-production with the Steering Group – made up of staff from across Wales – has helped us successfully engage with librarians who are often too busy or too geographically remote to be included in professional
planning and discussion. As the training goes forward for development the Steering Group will be able to see their diverse collections as powerful community tools for individual and community engagement and for co-producing new historic
narratives.

As well as feeding into the training models and content research the Steering Group undertook bespoke online training from Marian Gwyn. The training, ‘Supporting the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan
in libraries in Wales’, took us through the history of the Trans Atlantic slave trade and its connections to Wales, and instigated conversations about anti-racism and library communities and collections. The training was described by one
participant as “really valuable, and totally fitting and practicable to libraries”.
In addition, we organised an in-person Steering Group meeting in Colwyn Bay where we were able to experiment with the ideas and best practice we
would now expect our commissioned training to develop. Engaging with local groups and organisations, and with nationally strategic bodies in Wales gave us all a sense of the potential anti racist approaches and collaborations libraries
can make.
