After a hoover with a Museum Vac, I then cleaned the drawing with a natural latex sponge. Really effective at removing surface dirt without abrading the paper support. 🧹🧽

More surface cleaning sooty drawings today - wish it was this speedy in real life…this is one of 80 that need some TLC! @HistEnvScot @welovehistory #hesarchives #paperconservation

The Rae Project is our mission digitally document all the places and objects in our care. Next up it's the beautiful altar cloth from the Chapel Royal @stirlingcastle, based on colours and patterns originally painted in the 1600s. Take a closer look: ow.ly/Pvxv50JzX5a

Yesterday I delivered a workshop I developed on #photogrammetry to folks who work/volunteer in archaeology/ heritage/arts at #OldScatness. Great to teach photography and 3D processing to record and monitor archaeology in future! @Gavinbdouglas @ProfAndyWilson
