This article, and all that it reveals, is such a timely reminder of why AHRC supports galleries, libraries, archives, museums and special collections (GLAMS): they do not just preserve objects ‘for our enjoyment.’ They are stewards and enablers of new knowledge, still to be revealed. #V&A #WCL
Just noting that whatever the outcome of this remarkable story and identification, it was enabled by AHRC funded equipment! AHRC - here for the arts, here for the science.

Academic research “can be reproduced & distributed around the world virtually for free,” which is “vital for the scientific process, global collaboration & knowledge building,” - EFF’s Rory Mir.
