Walter Scott's Treasures of Abbotsford: July 2015
http://abbotsfordcollections.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Walter Scott's Treasures of Abbotsford. Tuesday, 14 July 2015. The Ground Beneath Our Feet. Well the 25th national Festival of Archaeology is just getting underway, so it got me thinking about a side of Scott's antiquarian pursuits that perhaps doesn't get as much coverage as it should: his interest in what we know today as archaeology and the early evolution of this discipline. The Tweed after which Scott named his new home. And two Iron-age hill forts at Castlesteads and Huntlyburn. He also acquire...

Week 9 Post-it notes! March 11, 2015. Here are two photos of the last group’s work from our afternoon session. We weren’t really able to explain at the time about them so I thought I would post them here if you want to see what we made of the task! Following on from what another person from the previous group said about bending the model to suit your needs, we also said you could/should pick and choose aspects of different models/standards to suit your repositories needs. March 4, 2015. There are apparen...

Walter Scott's Treasures of Abbotsford. Wednesday, 17 June 2015. Field Marshal Blücher's Tiny Teapot and Other Adventures.

We haven't done this yet with the Treasures of Abbotsford Blog and this story is a perfect reminder of why we should! A rather portly Archibald Constable. A new novel from the author of Waverley puts aside, in other words puts down for a time, ev...
