"...Vintage clothing is a generic term for new or _second hand_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Used_good)   _garments_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing)   originating from a previous era...."

Can/should each museum determine its own definition for its collection  
policy?

We have a nice collection of vintage clothing at  our museum and recently 
we have had some people wanting to donate articles  from the 1980s. Our 
concern is that once we take one piece of clothing from  the 80s, where do we 
stop. I guess the big question is where do we start? I'm  hoping someone out 
there has some good guidelines for taking "vintage"  clothing. If you have 
guidelines/policy, I'd love to see it. You can send it  to me off post if you 
like.
