We are very pleased to welcome Dr Paul Garside to the Kelvin Centre team as a Lecturer in Conservation Science.

Paul Garside

Paul studied chemistry at the University of Southampton, where he remained to carry out research for a PhD investigating the properties of natural polymer fibres (awarded in 2002). He subsequently joined the Textile Conservation Centre as Research Fellow in Conservation Science, with a particular interest in plant fibres and weighted silks; he also taught the conservation science component of the Centre’s MA course in textile conservation.

He joined the British Library as Conservation Scientist in 2009, where he managed scientific analysis and identification of materials, assessment of long-term properties and environmental responses, and development of risk management strategies for collection items and projects.
