Gilmerton Core Sample Collection : Keyworth transfer methodology

This document describes the methodology to be used in the preparation, photography and transportation of the UK Continental Shelf core collections held at Gilmerton by the BGS on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change. The methodology has been developed by the BGS working in partnership with the independently chaired ‘Gilmerton Core Advisory Group’, comprising members from DECC, from industry (including a representative of the Geological Society of London’s Petroleum Group) and from the UK’s museum community with specialist skills in conservation of specimens.
