Care of Textiles

Friday, August 31, 2018 at 2:00pm EST

 

Textiles are a wonderful interpretive tool for your collections, but their fragile nature and storage requirements often turn museums away from collecting them. This webinar will offer basic information on preserving and storing historic textiles. Topics will include a materials guide, preferred environmental conditions, and best practices for handling your textiles.

 

Speaker: Ryan Blocker, Museums Collections Coordinator, Alabama Department of Archives and History
