It has been a while since my last post but so many things have been happening I haven’t had a chance to write it all down.

1) Have tracked down a conservator thanks for the ideas and messages off the blog! Now in the stage of deciding what to do as she gave me an awful lot to think about and discuss with the concerned parties. More conservation supplies a coming – hurrah!

2) Taken on more work and hoping for a bit more coming soon. Fingers crossed and watch this space!

3) Started doing a little professional development and it is taking me to Glasgow! Attending Capturing Creativity at the Glasgow School of Art. If anyone knows any good hotels in that area do leave a little note. Expect a mini report of the day :)

Also a much cheaper/free day up in London in June, The Collection Management Exhibition – thought it looked interesting and may be good for networking and spreading my name.

A paper conservator or a conservator that works with photographs (non digital) to do some much needed repair work. I don’t really know where to start looking, I am thinking that the British Library should have some point of contact. The NRA list isn’t often used for conservators to talk about issues, only really archivists or other heritage sector members to post vacancies.  Maybe I am being a little dense but all suggestions much appreciated!

Look at these beauties :) It always makes me so happy to see records at this stage.

All crafted by my fair hand. It takes a while but the results always speak for themselves.

Yukky corner! Yes that is the official term :)

Ahh... A slightly better corner
