Mae'r delweddau hyn yn dal y bobl, y prosesau a'r eiliadau bob dydd a luniodd safle a oedd unwaith yn enwog am ei arloesedd, ei grefftwaith a'i gyrhaeddiad byd-eang.

O olygfeydd cynnar yn y gweithdy a phortreadau o weithwyr medrus – rholwyr a gwneuthurwyr tun – i olygfeydd o'r peiriannau, y theiau a glan yr afon a nodweddai dirwedd y gwaith, mae'r casgliad yn cadw byd sydd wedi diflannu i raddau helaeth. Mae pob ffotograff yn datgelu rhywbeth gwahanol: manwl-gywirdeb y grefft, ysbryd cymunedol y gweithlu, technolegau sy'n newid, a rhythmau bywyd mewn tref a adeiladwyd o amgylch metel a thân.

Yn ogystal â'r stori ddiwydiannol, mae'r archif hefyd yn adlewyrchu gwead cymdeithasol Cydweli ei hun. Mae teuluoedd, digwyddiadau a golygfeydd o'r gymuned gyfagos yn ymddangos ochr yn ochr â lluniau o'r broses gynhyrchu, gan ein hatgoffa nad gweithle yn unig oedd y gwaith tun, ond calon hunaniaeth leol am genedlaethau.

P'un a ydych chi'n ymchwilio i hanes teuluol, yn ymchwilio i ddiwydiant Cymru, neu'n chwilfrydig yn unig ynghylch sut olwg oedd ar y gorffennol drwy'r lens, mae'r archif hon yn eich gwahodd i gamu i fyd y gweithwyr tun a helpodd i lunio Cymru fodern.
