"This new publication series from the BM will certainly be a standard bearer in developing professionalism of museum-based science...In short, the British Museum Technical Research Bulletin is an excellent publication...not only does it serve the conservation community by supplying information that might otherwise never see the light of day, but it also provides a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse at the internal workings of a first-rate museum laboratory."
