The Centre for Textile Conservation and Technical Art History has been renamed The Kelvin Centre for Conservation and Cultural Heritage Research - follow the link to find out more.

This name better reflects the increasingly wide range of the Centre’s work, which encompasses textile conservation, textile and dress history, technical art history, conservation science and, from late 2023, book and paper conservation.

The Kelvin Centre is now located in Kelvin Hall, a huge building adjacent to the main university campus which is being developed as a major cultural centre by a consortium of Glasgow Life, the University of Glasgow and the National Library of Scotland.

A key benefit of the move is the co-location of the Kelvin Centre’s staff and students for the first time. The proximity to the staff and collections of the University’s Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery is another major benefit of the relocation.
