The Cornish National Library, National Library of Cornwall, or Cornish National Archive,〔()〕 is a proposed facility for the exhibition, research and storage of Cornwall's documentary and manuscript archives, currently held at Cornwall Record Office, the Cornish Studies Centre and various other collections, libraries and institutions both within Cornwall and outside. ==Description== It is proposed by Cornwall Council's Community Overview and Scrutiny Committee that a new building costing between £8-12 million is constructed. The new facility has been named as one of ten cultural projects adopted by Cornwall Council's cabinet, others include a National Theatre of Cornwall, and an expansion to the Tate St Ives art gallery. A Cornish national archive and library facility also forms part of Cornwall council's Heritage Strategy for 2011-14. The Cross Group Working Party Review of Cornwall Libraries in March 2011 stated its aim to repatriate many culturally important manuscripts to Cornwall, for instance, medieval Cornish language plays like ''Bewnans Ke'' currently held by the National Library of Wales, or the ''Ordinalia'' held by the Bodleian Library. The possibility of getting the ''Prophecy of Merlin'' from the Vatican Archives has also been mooted. It is agreed that the library of Joseph Hambley Rowe, currently held by Redruth Library, will go to a National Library of Cornwall when one is set up.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tolzethan: The Life and Times of Joseph Hambley Rowe )〕 The concept of a National Archive and Heritage Centre was born in Redruth in the early 2000s. This resulted in the creation of the Cornish Studies Library in the town. The old brewery at Redruth is now one of the three locations short-listed by Cornwall Council where the archive could be sited, the others being St Austell and Hayle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archive is vital to the future of 'struggling' town – claim, ''West Briton'', 10 May 2012 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornish National Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
