Reconstructing the Ancient Past: the RICHeS project at the Garstang Museum

Reconstructing the Ancient Past is a UKRI-AHRC funded project in collaboration with the Garstang Museum of Archaeology, the University of Liverpool, and National Museums Liverpool. It is part of Tranche 1 of the Research Infrastructure for Conservation and Heritage Science (RICHeS) programme. This project aims to make the distributed archaeological collection of John Garstang more visible, accessible, and findable through the development of an online portal, which will digitally reunite objects from the collection now held in institutions all over the world. Dr Alex Fitzpatrick (Collections Information and Access Developer, Libraries, Museums and Galleries - University of Liverpool Library) joins us to introduce the project and its achievements and challenges so far, followed by questions and discussion chaired by Rhian Isaac (Head of Special Collections Research, University of Leeds).

This event is jointly hosted by DCCH and Cultural Collections & Galleries. If you plan to attend please register your interest here.
