SEAHA student Gavin Leong recently guest blogged for the National Heritage Science Forum as part of British Science week 2018, #BSE18.
Every year SEAHA students visit Hellens Manor, a beautiful historic house in Herefordshire, which contains a wealth of period furnishings, artefacts, paintings and decorations.
In this blog Gavin reflects on this year’s visit, during British Science Week, to analyse paintings using hyperspectral imaging techniques and undertake environmental monitoring and risk assessments that will inform future approaches to collection care.
