During the period 1942 to 1945 D Dylan Pritchard MA FSS of the University of Wales at Bangor wrote a number of articles on the Welsh slate industry for Quarry Managers' Journal (QMJ).  The articles are listed opposite and I'll be adding new sections as time allows.

I am grateful to the publishers for permission to reproduce the articles here. Information about Quarry Management, the successor to QMJ, can be found here.QMJ Publishing are currently preparing the archive of QMJ for online access.

Dylan Pritchard's Master's thesis, The slate industry of North Wales: a study of the changes in economic organisation from 1780 to the present day is held in Bangor University library.
