'Old Tools, New Uses' Drop In Workshop, Aberdeen

The second drop-in session for the project was held at Cowdray Hall, Aberdeen, on 24 June 2010.

Our project specialist subject advisor, David Woodcock, was on hand to bring his knowledge to bear on a variety of domestic technology objects. You can send your object lists to David for his expert opinion and to help us build up a picture of the material of this type held in Scottish collections.
