New blog--History of Historic Royal Palaces

The Blog of the Century!

During 2013, Historic Royal Palaces are celebrating 100 years of
conservation.  We are charting our journey from the establishment of
the William Morris tapestry studios at Hampton Court Palace to our
current thriving multi-discipline Conservation and Collections Care
department.

As part of the celebrations and to tell some of these conservation
stories there is an exciting new blog on

Here you will find images, video clips and podcasts of our work
together with some snappy 100-word stories written by the
conservators themselves. Posts will be added regularly to reveal the
behind-the-scenes secrets of both past and present projects from our
textile, preventive, science and commissioned treatment teams.  We
have also produced a free download of tips and hints for the
non-specialist on how to care for their treasures at home.

We look forward to your comments.
