Facilities
The research facilities of the Heritage Science Lab Ljubljana consist of experimental laboratory facilities and reference research collections. We are continually developing both in close strategic collaboration with the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science – Slovenia (E-RIHS.si), of which our Lab is a founding member.
Students are encouraged to apply for access to E-RIHS.si projects, which provide valuable opportunities to engage with these research facilities and collections.
Below is a list of the main laboratory faclities, organised in meaningful headings, available to our researchers and anyone wishing to collaborate with us. We specialise particularly in environmental monitoring and assessment, as well as characterisation of heritage materials. Our excellence has been recognised through the inclusion of our Heritage Macromolecular Lab in the catalogue of services of the EU H2020 IPERION HS project, through which we offer access to our facilities for research collaboration globally.
Organisationally, some of our facilities are managed as part of the Heritage Science Unit of the Centre for Research Infrastructure, and some are managed as part of the Chair for Analytical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Ljubljana.

Reference Material Collections
The HSLL houses a number of Reference Material Collections. All have been acquired commercially and through donations for the purpose of heritage science research projects and their value is purely scientific. The samples represent genuine historic objects, although their history is mostly unknown. Many have been analysed using a number of analytical methods and both the samples and the associated data can be made available for further research. Requests for access requiring destructive sampling will be considered. In dealing with sampling requests we adhere to the ICON Ethical Sampling guidance.
