In the spirit of the 1970s, here are the negatives of an off-duty WRAC servicewoman Cpl Field looking ready to disco at the WRAC Barracks, Guildford, in 1978.

Do you like spaniels? Then you will love the scrapbooks of Vanda Salmon, MPs secretary who worked in the Palace of Westminster 1950s-70s, who also bred Cavalier King Charles spaniels (and other dogs). From @ChuArchives
Take a look at some colourful costumes from theatrical productions between 1946-57.
Drawn by Patience Arnold on her trips to Blackpool Opera House, these fun colourful images are a great example of fashion in the archives.

Happy 30th birthday to the National Lottery! 🤞🎉
For three decades, the National Lottery and its players have been supporting good causes across the UK, including right here in the Science Museum Group.
Our relationship with the National Lottery is almost as old as the Lottery itself, with the Science and Industry Museum receiving support back in 1995. Since then, 31 separate projects across the Group have been helped through a total of £72 million of support.
This year, we wanted to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their support with our Sound and Vision project. Thanks to the funding and support of the National Lottery and its players, we're undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation that includes two brand new galleries, opening in summer 2025.

What a day at the unveiling of the blue plaque celebrating St.Helens Ladies FC, who defied the @fa’s ban & paved the way for our girls to play football.
Step forward: Lydia Ackers, Lizzy Ashcroft, Susie Chorley, Lily Parr, Edith Waine & Alice Woods. Pioneers.
