  • Delete This is a hoax. The cited work "Chalmers, R: Dyddiadur / Journals 1805 - 1810" does not appear in the holdings of any of the World Cat libraries, which libraries include all of the major research libraries in anthropology in the US and UK. The University of Wales itself does not have a physical library, only an online one, their staff use the physical library facilities at Cardiff University. Individual members institutions of the University of Wales do have their own libraries, such as the one at Bangor. None of their catalogs list any works by Realth Chalmers. The catalogs include archives and reference works. --Bejnar 05:03, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
