Biographical/Historical note

The South Wales Miners' Federation was a trade union for miners, founded in 1898 when a number of miners' unions in the South Wales area merged. It was affiliated to the Miners' Federation of Great Britain in 1899. It was composed of 20 districts.

In 1945, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) (South Wales branch) succeeded the South Wales Miners' Federation.

Local branches or Miners’ lodges (governed by a lodge committee) each represented a colliery or pit.

These records were deposited by the officials of the Marine Lodge, Ebbw Vale.
