Just to let folks know that I've now had all the Polaroid and disposable photos from the 'Danilo' room scanned.
Will get them uploaded to a shared drive in the coming days.
I'm afraid quite a few didn't come out as the flash wasn't used...

Harry and Tom from the incredible team @BACKLITgallery, as well as Matt and Suzanne.
Many of you kindly made a donation to Backlit who are currently trying to raise funds to buy the building so they can do even more great work for the community in Nottingham.

Just been along to @BACKLITgallery here in #Nottingham to check out the new Forest fan culture exhibition put on by @GloriousBanners, which has just opened today. Superb stuff - & really proud to have some of my own work from the 1990s featured in the section on fanzines. #NFFC

Do you want to learn how to use a 3D scanner? Of course you do! Bring an object that has personal meaning to you to St Anns Library this Friday and weβll show you how to immortalise it with a 3D scanner. Youβll get a copy, and another will become part of the Peopleβs Archive.
