Many of the most important manuscripts and books have been digitised and made freely available to view on the library's [http://www.llgc.org.uk/index.php?id=122 Digital Mirror]. The Library intends to digitise much of its image, sound and print collections over the ten years from 2008. This is funded by £20 million donation from the Welsh Government.  
Many of the most important manuscripts and books have been digitised and made freely available to view on the library's [https://www.library.wales/discover/digital-gallery Digital Gallery].  


The Library is currently digitising the back-numbers of fifty important journals relating to Wales, in both Welsh and English, in the [http://welshjournals.llgc.org.uk Welsh Journals On-line] project. This will form the largest body of Welsh text on the Web, as well as allowing free access for all to scholarly articles on history, literature and science, and poems and book reviews. The website will contain a total of 400,000 pages. After the project is complete, new issues of the titles will be added as they emerge from the embargo period agreed with the publisher.
[https://journals.library.wales/ Welsh Journals Online] project. The National Library of Wales undertook the work of digitising and making the journals available online with the support of Welsh Government, JISC, Europeana, WHELF and the cooperation of publishers and authors. A team of bibliographic and academic specialists were also key to the work.  While the majority of the journals content is available to users, users should note that some pages or parts of pages are unavailable due to copyright restrictions.
