Cymdeithas Madog, the Welsh Studies Institute in North
America Inc., is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to helping North Americans learn, use and enjoy
the Welsh language. It takes its name from Madog ab Owain Gwynedd, a Welsh prince who sailed (according to legend)
to America in the 12th century. That makes him a fitting symbol of the cultural and linguistic links which Cymdeithas
Madog maintains between Wales and the New World.
Cymdeithas Madog is a clearinghouse for
information about Welsh language resources. We can help you find Welsh literature, publications from Wales, books
about Wales and Welsh in Welsh and English, Welsh music, and Welsh resources on the internet.
The Welsh language is alive and active,
and is waiting for you. So don't delay. Write today to see what Cymdeithas Madog has to offer you. Write or e-mail:
