Our Object Conservator Kayleigh Spring making an appearance with the guys from the @coriniummuseum. Sad to see such lovely objects leave the lab but hopefully they can be placed on display for all to see soon! Check out the video: instagram.com/reel/DBRfkrlMf…

We visited the @royalartillerymuseum last week to discuss all things conservation and collections care. There are great plans afoot to increase access to their fascinating collection. Definitely worth a visit.

Look at this interesting discolouration! It appears the decorative ink used on this postcard has started to react with the acidic paper. The green colouration could indicate metal elements such as copper are present in the ink. #archives #paperconservation #artwork #chemistry

What do you keep in your freezer? Don’t worry, all our conservators are intact and we aren’t celebrating Halloween early - this is just some waterlogged archaeological leather footwear being frozen before freeze-drying treatment. #archaeology #conservation #objects #freezedrying

We had a very wet day yesterday visiting @RomanBathsBath . The mist over the hot spring water and reenactors made it very atmospheric! Luckily we were safely tucked up inside and getting to review some of their amazing collection. Always worth a visit! #museums #collections

We are tucking up this baby in blue after its treatment, ready to be returned home. Plastics are very challenging as their degradation can only be slowed not stopped, so we created custom packaging to help with its preservation. #plastics #conservation #objects #vintagedolls
