Bibliography of Welsh history
# Bibliography of Welsh history

This is a bibliography of published works on the history of Wales. It includes published books (by historians, antiquarians and translators), journals, and educational and academic history-related websites; it does not include self-published works, blogs or user-edited sites. Works may cover aspects of Welsh history inclusively or exclusively (see titles for guidance).

The list's primary purpose is to provide clearly-formatted sources for editors of articles on (or which contain elements of) Welsh history. Wikilinks to authors may provide further bibliographies. A Google Books link may be included, where search terms may yield individual page views or a free e-book.
