Every conservator's dream: a #clock that shows not only the time but also the #temperature and relative #humidity!
I wonder how accurate it is. 🤔
Thanks #lidl! Watch museum professionals sneak these into storage rooms across the world now...
(Available from 11 May in UK stores. This isn't a paid advert. I'm just a nerd.)

📢 Amgueddfa Cymru calls for 💰 💰 💰 to safeguard #collections for #Wales
This doesn't surprise me: museums are chronically underfunded and constantly asked to put off basic maintenance and #conservation 😩 Good to see it being talked about!
Lots of different figures being thrown around in this article, but basically: #CollectionsCare and #BuildingConservation costs money. Lots of money!

We've just launched season 13 (woah! you'd think for people who deal with the passage of time in our daily work we'd be less astounded by how long we've been making this #podcast) and our first episode is all about #CommunityBuilding online and what that looks like for #conservators and people in #CollectionsCare 💜 Where do we congregate, and what makes a #community?

Recently I entertained myself with a little photo shoot of doll sized wedding dresses. I packed them in tiny #acidfree boxes and even made a little costume bag.
Why?
Allegedly because I was writing "Happily Ever After: The Complete Guide on How to Store and Look After Your Wedding Dress" for Preservation Equipment.
(But also because it's fun.)
Read the guide here: https://www.preservationequipment.com/Blog/Blog-Posts/How-to-store-a-wedding-dress

Bad: The repository's overhead door couldn't handle the wind and rain. Good: Finding contemporary value in anthropology's outdated, racist theories. #anthropology #archaeology #collectionscare

I've written a handy guide to #light, that pesky #AgentOfDeterioration we need to see! 🔆 What is it, what does it do, and what can we do about it?

Yesterday I had tremendous fun invading our local leisure centre and setting up another #salvage #training #workshop for #GLAM people in #Wales.
We covered:
🪣 Triage + salvage basics
🌊 Handling + drying stuff
Thanks to Connect-Conserve Cymru for letting me run these for the Emergency Planning Networks and cheers to Welsh gov for funding it so everyone could benefit! 🙏

Well how else do you dry an industrial quantity of blotting paper after a salvage exercise? 😂

A great use of #technology for #conservators: the #HoloLens2 is really just a fancy camera on a human but it works really well!
It could also be vital for #training new #conservation professionals. Also imagine this used for virtual courier trips!
I'm tickled by the prospect of adding better lights to the #headset. Collaborating directly with #Microsoft would actually be really cool.

Here’s the reported “fiddler crab on steroids.” Now, although not a fiddler - it’s a blue land crab, Cardisoma guanhumi - I will admit that I would be startled hearing scratching at my office door, opening it to find this not-small asymmetrically-clawed crustacean. A museum curator’s job is never dull. #crustmas #crustacea #crustaceans #crabs #collection #CollectionsCare #digitization #25daysofcrustmas #malacostraca #museumspecimen #decapoda

Every so often we stumble across a specimen record that makes us laugh for days. This is one of them. We recently acquired the South Carolina DNR’s Southeast Regional Taxonomic Center marine collection, and are working to integrate the metadata into our database. #crabs #crustacea #crustaceans #MuseumCollections #museum #CollectionsCare #curation #crustmas #25daysofcrustmas #malacostraca

At the moment there's a mix of #conservators, collections managers, techs, #curators, #librarians, #registrars, #archivists, and researchers on there.
It specifically wants people from outside the profession bubble to join, so please do!
