Documentation services for museums and historic houses

Client list
I used to call this "Recent clients" but as time passes some have become "not so recent". Rather than removing them from the list completely (I like my clients far too much for that!), I have decided to indicate the dates that I worked for them. I have highlighted my more recent clients (2000-2005) by giving their dates in red.
