Abstract
This six volume set of film negatives was photographed by the late John Harris, who died in 2008. A professional photo-journalist and teacher, John Harris resided in the Dunvant district of Swansea and covered many home and away matches for Swansea RFC, as well as international games at the National Stadium. His Swansea matches are deposited now with the CIC and cover the period from 1978 to 2003. Having been catalogued, the list is now searchable via a PDF file. The list includes amny great games played by the club including cup matches and matches against touring sides. It was kindly donated on 25th March 2019 to the CIC by John Harris' granddaughter Sarrah Case, in order that the imagery might be available to the community via the Swansea RFC memorabilia CIC.
