Hello Ellen-
We have a historic costume and textiles collection
here at Ohio State that may be a possibility. The
website is:
http://costume.osu.edu/Exhibitions/TextileTreasures/textiletreasures.htm
Also, the curator is Gayle Strege and her contact
information is [log in to unmask] She is very helpful
and if she doesn't feel that the OSU collection is a
good place, I'm sure she could point you in the right
direction. Best of luck!
