Our #conservation team have completed work on another of the William Burges @cardiff_castle drawings.

This one features the Greek goddess Astrea. Thanks again to @TheNMCT for funding this fantastic project.

@sixteenthCgirl There’s a couple of different ways now - the traditional way is degree then postgrad course in Archive Administration (full time/part time/distance learning options). There is also a new apprenticeship route just starting out. Volunteering is a good place to start.

@JTullock Very interesting 🤔🤔🤔

@ENortonHistory Not onscreen (yet) but I think the Anne Boleyn portrayal (several versions) in Six The Musical is fabulous! Onscreen would have to be Natalie Dormer I think….

It was great to see the exhibition at @AdamsdownPrm today.

The #Adamsdown Investigators @HistoryA_down have done a fantastic job uncovering the amazing history of their school, which sits at the heart of their community.

@JTullock Thanks for clearing that up - was a bit worried for a minute & thought you were branching out into something sinister!

I swear that #Eurovision is the only thing that could keep me up till this godforsaken hour watching some strange people waffling on. Never thought I’d see UK get that close ever again in my lifetime to be honest
