Sharing heritage science…our blog for British Science Week

The NHSF 'sharing heritage science' blog for British Science Week 2017 features gives an insight into:

  • how English Heritage monitors the condition of paintings across its properties;
  • how technical examination at National Galleries Scotland can reveal information about workshop practices and the artist; 
  • how science is used to look after photographs at The National Archives; 
  • how dust can be monitored and understood in the Eduardo Paolozzi studio at National Galleries Scotland; 
  • how maritime archaeologists, Historic England scientists and conservators, and Southend Museums Service have worked together to understand and look after artecfacts from a 17th Century ship;
  • how the SEAHA mobile heritage lab has brought state of the art scientific research to one of the oldest houses in the country;
  • and has highlighted activities at the British Museum during British Science Week, including its Facebook Live event which enabled people from around the world to see inside the labs and 'talk' to the scientists.
