Low water levels: The EU clears old Nazi warships from the Danube.

Near Prahovo in Serbia, relics of the Second World War emerge when river levels are low.

On the riverbed lie numerous wrecks of German warships scuttled by their crews in 1944 as they retreated from the Red Army.

Today I had a lot of fun running a practical #salvage day for GLAMs in #Wales: we had a great time talking about #DisasterPlanning and how to best deal with #collections when they get soggy. 🪣

One of my favs from the salvage buckets were these handwritten pages of training notes from someone: the blue ink was running everywhere and staining everything in its path. Beautiful! Horrific!

I'll be doing another in Bangor soon, so if you missed this one and you're in Wales you should get in touch!

Yesterday I had tremendous fun invading our local leisure centre and setting up another #salvage #training #workshop for #GLAM people in #Wales.

We covered:
🪣 Triage + salvage basics
🌊 Handling + drying stuff

Thanks to Connect-Conserve Cymru for letting me run these for the Emergency Planning Networks and cheers to Welsh gov for funding it so everyone could benefit! 🙏
