Call for Guest Bloggers for NHSF British Science Week Series – Citizen Heritage Science

To celebrate British Science Week (8-17 March 2019), the National Heritage Science Forum will be publishing a series of blog posts showcasing the excellent work of heritage scientists in using science and technology to understand, manage and engage with heritage.This year we want to focus on research or projects related to Citizen Heritage Science.

Have you used heritage science as a means of public engagement, or run a project or piece of research that uses citizen-contributed science, or is community-led? If so, we’d love to feature it in the series of blogs that will be published between 8-17 March on the NHSF blog:
