Fantastic reference for working with any type of historic clothing archive, whether it be the costume collection housed in a museum/historical society, a study archive at an educational institution, or even the inevitable section of a theatre's stock which is no longer stageworthy. The author covers preservation, cataloguing, handling, storage options, & methods for determining the age & fiber content of a garment. Also a lot on curating exhibits.
Crazeedi Oooo, I think this sounds so interesting 4y
REPollock It‘s an excellent reference book but also just plain interesting. We‘re going to give a copy to the drama department at work for the graduate students who administer the historical costume archive. 4y
