Centre for Conservation and Cultural Heritage Research

Description

The Centre for Conservation and Cultural Heritage was formed in 2011 to co-ordinate research activities in conservation, history and science in relation to the heritage sector. Members share an interest in historic material culture and its conservation and analysis.
