'horror stories' and 'bad things can happen'! Tales not for the faint-hearted historic instrument enthusiast... #ObsNet4
After fantastic tours, taking in the telescope domes, object store, rare books, library & Astropark, we're turning to a panel session on how historic observatory sites can and have been sustained by gaining official heritage status, joining forces and meeting challenges #ObsNet4
Observatory Networks retweeted
Great tour - so much of the material culture, architecture and sense of place remain @ArmaghPlanet, plus I'm always happy to find myself on an observatory roof with like-minded folk! #ObsNet4 @ObservatoryNet
Wonderful tour of Armagh Observatory and collections for @ObservatoryNet delegates and now discussion about preserving heritage and reconnecting astronomy networks in Ireland to do this as part of Universal Value #ObsNet4 #StayCurious
Observatory Networks retweeted
Session 7 of #ObsNet4 is on Sustaining historic instruments and observatory environments. Prof Michael Burton is starting this session highlighting AOPs plans for UNESCO World Heritage alongside @DIASDunsink and @BirrCastle #staycurious @ObservatoryNet
(And delighted to see that Jim has joined us online!) #ObsNet4
An acknowledgement in discussion that Jim Bennett's 1990 book, Church, State and Astronomy in Ireland: 200 Years of Armagh Observatory, "is their bible" #ObsNet4
Michael Burton, Director @ArmaghPlanet, notes that they are funded to do astronomy and education and not heritage - a common theme that came up yesterday. Nevertheless, they do explore and care for their history and heritage and manage to get some financial support #ObsNet4
