I only am really sure on costumes, here are some links: and here are
some URL's that might help:
http://www.hfmgv.org/explore/artifacts/textile.asp
http://www.textilemuseum.org/care/brochures/guidelines.htm
http://www.rap-arcc.org/welcome/tcw.htm
http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/bytopic/genpub/
http://www.cr.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/cons_toc.html

There is also a couple of books put out through the Costume Society of
America. http://www.costumesocietyamerica.com

Much of what you need depends on the costumes and your space.  Rolling,
hanging, boxing and folding are all issues that come up and have varying
degrees of potential damage if done wrong. There is also a program at UC
Long Beach that does some online coursework that could help you if you
have time.

If you have any specific issues or questions you would like to ask, you
can e-mail me off list and I will be happy to help.
