Permanent home for Vietnam war photographer's work

The daughters of renowned Welsh photographer Philip Jones Griffiths say they are "extremely satisfied" that his archive will be permanently housed at the National Library of Wales. Griffiths' iconic images of the Vietnam War have gone on display in Aberystwyth, after years of wrangling over a long-term home for his work. The library will house 150,000 slides and 30,000 of his prints. Griffiths was born in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, in 1936 and initially worked as a photographer for the Guardian and the Observer, before travelling to Vietnam in 1966 for the Magnum photo agency. He is credited with helping to end the war through the publication of his powerful images of the conflict, which were published in a book called Vietnam Inc. in 1971.
