The Digital Mirror: Treasures of the National Library of Wales. Online collections related to Welsh history and culture - the Mary Dillwyn Album (a Victorian family photography album), autobiography of a smuggler, Lloyd George's 1886 diary, witchcraft in 17th century Flintshire, the 'Black Book of Carmarthen', a letter in the hand of Ann Griffiths, hymn writer, the Book of Taliesin (14th century), and more.
Thanks so much for this! I'm very interested in Welsh language and culture, so this is a goldmine!

And it keeps getting better. They've digitised the whole run of Y Brython, a 19th century Welsh language magazine, just to see how much work it would entail. They're intending to digitise "the whole of the Library's collection of pre-1900 Welsh and Wales-related periodicals on preservation microfilm".
This is good.
