History Research 

The Centre for Conservation and Cultural Heritage Research brings together conservators, scientists, and historians working closely together to share the strengths of their respective methodologies. The Centre draws on the commercial activity of Lincoln Conservation and also houses the Historic and Ancient Materials Research Group and a growing archive of paint and wallpaper samples from historic interiors across the country.
