Exhibiting Historical Clothing & Textiles

Presented by Carolyn Jenkinson, Curator of Collections at the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection and Center for Design at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

This session will introduce safe and economical ways to exhibit historical clothing and textiles in small museums with limited staff and resources. Participants will receive a general introduction to textile fiber properties, fabric identification, and common causes of damage in museum display environments. Participants will also learn to identify appropriate (and affordable) mounting materials and methods for the display of a wide range of flat and 3-D textile objects—from slant boards and Velcro mounts for historical flags and quilts, to creating or modifying mannequins for historical garments.

Wondering how a webinar works?

A webinar is a computer class using the internet to connect the presenter with the audience. If your computer has high-speed internet and a speaker you can take part. You will hear the presenter on your speaker and see the presentation on your screen.

It's that easy.
