		<description><![CDATA[Following on from my previous blog posts, I&#8217;d like to demonstrate how Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM) can overcome the difficulties of photographing lace. In particular, cream-coloured lace mounted on cream-coloured paper, is hard to photograph. The three lace designs below show how this image capture and processing technique enables the viewer to adjust the lighting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I never cease to get a sense of excitement from opening newly-accessioned files for the first time. Occasionally, documents released to The National Archives will fundamentally change our view of history, but more often, they add colour and fill in the blanks to events and personalities with which we’re already familiar. Today’s release of almost [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the end of another football season, I have to grudgingly admit the Red Devils from Manchester are the best team again. To win 20 top tier titles, compared to my team&#8217;s record, is certainly worth a mention. Football has also lost a great character and manager with the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson. So after [...]]]></description>

The second work placement I’ve chosen to do for the Clore leadership programme is at Sage Gateshead (which was previously known as ‘The Sage Gateshead’, but is currently undergoing a brand refresh). All kinds of music are happening [...]]]></description>

I don’t need to, because some of the real stories I have come across in documents held in The National Archives are just as exciting and dramatic as any novel.

Derek, our groundsman, protected the nest with fencing and you can see some of his handiwork in the photo. I&#8217;m delighted to announce the arrival of the first cygnets on Tuesday.

The Operational Record Books (‘ORBs’ or more formally RAF Forms 540 and 541) of the squadrons have always been very [...]]]></description>

It can seem that, no matter what good programs and processes you develop and get signed off by senior management, users just don’t care. Speaking to the business can be hard, so in this blog we’re going get through [...]]]></description>
