Historic Clothing Practicum
Middlebury’s Historic Clothing Collection: Conservation, Documentation, and Interpretation Practicum
Middlebury College is the proud owner of an historic teaching collection of over 400 pieces of antique clothing and accessories. However, the collection is poorly curated and remains largely hidden, stored away in the lower level of Wright Theatre. In this practicum/seminar, students will inventory and document the collection with the expertise of a textile historian and a costume designer; further conserve and physically stabilize the collection by improving its storage; and update and expand the online database, making the entire collection digitally available to on- and off- campus audiences alike.
