How do researchers access artifacts and documents in the Clothing and Textiles Collection?
Teaching and research are the two purposes of the Clothing and Textiles Collection. A limited number of objects may be on display in the Human Ecology Building Gallery, or other venues on campus, at any given time. Many of the artifacts in the Collection have been photographed, and are viewable on the Collection database, which is updated regularly. Physical access is extremely limited and is available to researchers by appointment only. Guided behind-the-scenes tours for groups may also be arranged, if staff time permits.
