The new Norwegian Church charity recently appointed our society treasurer Thomas Husøy to lead an investigation into the history of the church and its community over the years.
Thomas has started to delve deep into the archives at the church and to hand, and over the coming year he will look in libraries, archives and personal collections further afield in Wales and Norway.
Already some members have come forward to tell us of mementoes and records they have themselves or know of elsewhere. Please do keep the information coming! Feel free to contact Thomas at thomas@norwegianchurchcardiff.com if you wish to discuss the Norwegian Church and the heritage project.
We will take great care of materials shared with us, take copies and make the material more widely available in a digital record of this community which has played such a central role in the life and development of Cardiff and south Wales.
