Original Garments, Photos and Notes



Greetings! With research comes excitement and the thrill of learning new things. My philosophy towards learning goes hand-in-hand with the notion of sharing knowledge with everyone who wants to learn. This site is designed to share my findings regarding original items from textile collections. With each garment you will find photographs and detailed notes that I have taken. I hope to continue to add to this page, and I hope that the information that is presented within this site is useful to those seeking to learn about what our material culture can teach us about the people who lived in the past.
