@UkNatArchives @Tate @UKRI_News @NHM_London Finally, Victoria Kemp @AshmoleanMuseum is providing an overview on the @LeverhulmeTrust project on Ruskin’s materials started in 2022 by @TeaGhigo, and how this opened up new research projects, including on Hunt’s artworks, possible thanks to equipment obtained through CapCo.

Today at @UCL_ISH we are highlighting examples of conservation projects which have used heritage science facilities and expertise to inform and enhance their work. #capco #ahrc #riches

[ICONHerSciGroup @ICONSci]

@UkNatArchives @Tate @UKRI_News Fabiana Portoni and Anna Fenlon highlighted crucial research they are doing at @NHM_London in understanding what happens to collection during freeze treatment for Integrated Pest Management. They are determining the effect of low temperature on unregistered specimens using ESEM
