The Broughton herbarium consists of 4 remaining bound volumes of dried and pressed plant specimens. These were collected by Dr Arthur Broughton in the 1700s. He collected from the Bristol area when he was fit and working and then later he travelled to Jamaica for health reasons, where he collected 3 more volumes of Jamaican flora. This collection was donated to Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. The bindings were badly damaged as the leather was sheep skin, which has little strength and the volumes were no longer protecting the valuable contents. I was asked to conserve the collection and provide better access to the important and scientifically significant specimens within.
