Research interests

My research interests are the heritage science of textiles and decorative art and social history artefacts in museums, archives and historical places for their provenance, interpretation, significance and preservation. This involves chemistry, art history, the history of making, laboratory analysis and conservation science. I am based in the Kelvin Centre for Conservation and Cultural Heritage Research (formerly known as the Centre for Textile Conservation and Technical Art History) within History of Art. 

Current Research

  • Historical dyes, natural and synthetic
  • Historical plastics
  • Historical synthetic fibres
  • Micro-chemical analysis by UHPLC, FTIR and UV-Vis
  • Mass-production chemical history
  • Dyers’ books
  • Experimental recreation
  • Ageing studies

I lead the research of the Crutchley Archive of eighteenth-century dye books in Southwark Archives (Textile Conservation Foundation and Worshipful Company of Dyers grants), resulting in its inscription to the UNESCO UK Memory of the World register in 2020. My extensive Dye-versity research of early synthetic dyes in dyers books continues, initiated with a Carnegie Trust for Scottish Universities grant, as a legacy project from the ReCREATE research network for the experimental culture of Scotland’s nineteenth century decorative textiles (Royal Society of Edinburgh). I am also researching synthetic materials in the Scottish Business Archive, University of Glasgow, an outcome of the ReINVENT knowledge exchange network for Scotland’s historical textiles industry (Royal Society of Edinburgh). I am an invited Getty Guest Scholar to the Getty Research Institute and Getty Conservation Institute, in residency from April to June 2022 for archival and reference collection research for my forthcoming book on modern materials as decorative art and fashion artefacts to be published by Routledge.   

Recent doctoral and postdoctoral research by my group are described in this blog for Textile Conservation. 

Current Collaborations

I am an expert research contributor and advisor to PlasCO2 for cleaning plastic, PI Joana Lia Ferreira (Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation); Synthetic Garments Project PSSN/DATS, PI Susan Lambert (Art Fund); Capturing the Materiality of the Prize Papers: a set of 19th century Chinese silk samples (case study) The National Archive, PI Lucia Pereira Pardo (AHRC CapCo); the materials study of the Morton cope in Bishop Auckland Museum, PI Mary Brookes (Society of Antiquaries grant), and the Dunollie Museum textile collection, PI Alison Mayne (Pasold Research Fund). I am an advisor for ‘From Fleece to Fashion’, PI Lynn Abrahms (AHRC). 

I continue my research interests in dyed historical Scottish tartans, cellulose nitrate and acetate plastic degradation, and light-sensitive dyes from my analytical science projects at National Museums Scotland.

Published books

I am currently writing a new monograph 'Modern Materials In Decorative Arts and Fashion' (working title) for the Routledge Conservation, Museum & Heritage Studies and Library & Information Science series (expected publication 2023). My published books are 'Plastics: Collecting and Conserving' with Colin Williamson (National Museums Scotland Publications) and 'Wrought in Gold and Silk: Preserving the Art of Historic Tapestries' with Kathryn Hallett and Concha Herrero Carretero (NMS Publications). My book chapters are Quality Matters for Historical Plastics in 'The Co-Shaping of Materials and Chemists in the Twentieth Century' by Pierre Teissier, Cyrus Mody and Brigitte Van Tiggelen and Chromatography in 'Conservation Research in Libraries' by David Howell. With Matija Strlic and the Icon Heritage Science Group I wrote the Institute of Conservation Heritage Science Group Ethical Sampling Guidance that is now a resource for the Collection Trust Spectrum.
