Mae gan Gomisiwn Brenhinol Henebion Cymru rôl genedlaethol flaenllaw o ran datblygu a hyrwyddo dealltwriaeth o dreftadaeth archaeolegol, adeiledig ac arforol Cymru, fel cychwynnwr, curadur a chyflenwr gwybodaeth awdurdodol i wneuthurwyr penderfyniadau unigol a chorfforaethol, a rhai’r llywodraeth, ac i ymchwilwyr a’r cyhoedd yn gyffredinol.
Mae tirwedd a threftadaeth adeiledig Cymru’n ffrwyth rhyngweithiadau pobl â byd natur dros filoedd o flynyddoedd. Ers iddo gael ei sefydlu ym 1908, mae’r Comisiwn Brenhinol wedi bod ar y blaen o ran esbonio ac ymchwilio i olion y rhyngweithiadau hynny, sef yr archaeoleg a’r adeiladau hanesyddol a welwn ni o’n cwmpas.
Mae gan y Comisiwn Brenhinol gasgliad unigryw o ffotograffau, mapiau, delweddau, cyhoeddiadau ac adroddiadau yn ei archif Cofnod Henebion Cenedlaethol Cymru a chewch ymgynghori ag ef ar ein cronfa ddata ar-lein, sef Coflein neu drwy anfon ymholiad i’n hadran Gwasanaethau Darllenwyr.

The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales has a leading national role in developing and promoting understanding of the archaeological, built and maritime heritage of Wales, as the originator, curator and supplier of authoritative information for individual, corporate and governmental decision makers, researchers, and the general public.
The landscape and built heritage of Wales result from people’s interaction with the natural world over thousands of years. Since it was established in 1908, the Royal Commission has led the way in researching and explaining the remains of that interaction – the archaeology and the historic buildings we see around us.
The Royal Commission holds a unique collection of photographs, maps, images, publications and reports within its archive, The National Monuments Record of Wales, which can be consulted on our online database Coflein or by making an enquiry to our Enquiry Services section.
