Mary Rose Archaeological Services Ltd [MRAS] is a contracting company wholly owned by the Mary Rose Trust. The Trust has 30 years of unrivalled expertise in the conservation of waterlogged organic artefacts.
Today MRAS has access to more maritime archaeological conservation capacity than any other facility in Europe if not the world. We can now make these facilities available fulfilling our responsibility as the leading UK museum for maritime archaeology and conservation [UKMCS]. As a result of our research with maritime museums and Universities around the world, MRAS can offer the archaeological community the latest organic waterlogged wood conservation technology.
Over the last 35 years we have acquired unrivalled experience conserving the Mary Rose hull and the associated 19,000 artefacts recovered from the Solent. The creation of an extraordinary new Mary Rose Museum has required the coordination of a wide range of disciplines. Today we can add the experience gained from planning, funding and project managing a new world class museum. All the preparations for display, the design of the showcases, preparation of panel and caption copy, interactive and audio visual displays and mount making, all planned and executed in-house. This expertise is all now accessible through MRAS.
