A brief bit of blue sky while working in the city today. #London #ObjectConservation #CollectionsCare

A brilliant day George Marshall Medical Museum 💉 🏥 training yesterday. Some satisfying during cleaning photos below. # #ObjectConservation

Unpacking the new conservation vacuum for the studio, which obviously means Roy runs the usual box quality control procedures. #CareOfCollecions #CatsofTwittter

Portable Antiquities Pieta Greaves

Had a great time last week condition checking the new Sculpture in the Park Compton Verney . Although, the choice of a bright orange jacket on the day did make photographing the very shiny Perceval quite tricky! #ConditionAssessments #museum #artmuseum #freelanceconservation

Some good news for a Monday. Pieta has successfully completed Carbon Literacy training and has been certified as Carbon Literate. Thanks at all who made this project accessible to a freelancer like me. #CarbonLiteracy #CLMuseums9 #RootsandBranches

Solid end to the week, with a few days soaking up the archaeology and scenery of Athens. #archaeologyinspired #backtoworkmonday

What an object to start off the week!. A 17th century silver gilt ceremonial mace receiving a condition check and risk assessment. #ObjectConservation #CollectionsCare

A cold moment under Lichfield Cathedral looking at fragments of a medieval coffin. Textile remains and ring created by a chalice placed on top are still visible. #Archaeology #ArchaeologicalConservation #ConservationAssessment

Passport of Dr Elizabeth Macbean Ross.

I am trying to figure out how Dr Ross got from Persia to Serbia in 1914-1915. We have her passport but unfortunately, no one here has any Russian, Romanian or Serbian. Can anyone help?

This lovely little #BronzeAge Accessory Cup was found inside a large Collared Urn excavated by explorethepast before conservation cleaning and stabilisation #FindsFriday #ArchaeologicalConservation #Archaeology

This lovely saxon brooch has the best little circle designs. #ArchaeologicalConservation #Archaeology

Have spent the week travelling and working in #Scotland . Wonderful projects finished, and new ones just beginning. Even a chance to see a red squirrel.

I've just submitted my response- deadline is tonight #saveourwills

Highlight of my day. #RedSquirrel

This 18th century Netsuke is giving itself a little clean before it goes home to #WoburnAbbey . It has been out for exhibition Compton Verney #MuseumCollections .

Happy Lunar New Year. Just a few of Dragons we have conserved over the years. #YearOfTheDragon 🐉🐉

This #Viking junction strap (in for a little TLC) was hiding a big secret. X-rays revealed a lovely silver thread (koftgari) design on the surface. Only fragmentary now, it would have looked quite amazing when first made. #ArchaeologicalConservation #Archaeology #FindsFriday

A lovely view while working on-site today at Jencks Foundation. Conservation today for this little model of Maggie's centre Oldham. Founder Maggie Keswick Jencks used her own experience of having cancer to create a new type of cancer care. (1/2) #ObjectConservation #architecture

Sometimes, it's tricky to see the details on a coin within the corrosion during conservation. A little application of acetone helps to keep me on track
