On Wednesday, May 13, at 12:30 pm, Texas Fashion Collection Director, Dr. Annette Becker, will present "Taking Care: Preservation of Textiles in Historic Collections."While our experiences with textiles are most often hands-on and intimate, a kind of alchemy happens when these materials enter archive and museum spaces. To balance the competing priorities of preserving artifacts and providing access, collecting institutions must strategically handle and present these fragile materials. They must also weigh which moments in an object’s life should be prioritized, conducting research to inform conservation approaches.
Join Dr. Annette Becker for a presentation on practical and theoretical considerations for caring for historic and contemporary textile-based artifacts.
