White gloves and dirty boots

We are the curators’ team at Historic Royal Palaces. Some of us are archaeologists (hence the muddy boots) and some are collections specialists (hence the white gloves), but all of us love history. It’s our job to research the stories of the Historic Royal Palaces we care for in order to share them with our visitors. We hope our blog gives you an insight into what we do, and we’d love to hear from you. Please do leave us a comment!
