Wales's first pop archive is to be established by Bangor University to preserve the history and development of Welsh language pop music and culture for the future.

The archive will collect, store and provide an online catalogue of magazines, fanzines, memorabilia such as song lyrics written by the author, posters, and so forth, single and LP records, cassettes and CDs, videos, television programmes, pictures and any other documents relating to popular music in Wales since the 1940s...
