Richard Corson, author of "Fashions in Eyeglasses from the 14th Century to the
Present Day" (Peter Owens, London) also wrote (I am told) a book on hair.  The
spectacles book is a wonderful resource.

The Outagamie Museum is developing an exhibit about hairstyles in the
United States during the 20th century.  The basic concept is that styles
are a means of self-expression (e.g. conformity, rebellion, independence,
sophistication, etc.), and that various events and influences have changed
the way that we have expressed certain messages.  We intend for this
exhibit to be fun and light-hearted, but grounded in solid information.

Has anyone ever seen, heard of, or presented anything like this?  If so,
please respond off-list with any ideas, suggestions, or resources to
