Maybe you should consider contacting the University of Canberra. They have a cultural heritage unit that deals with museum studies and has conservators. They might be in a position to advise you.
You are in the Nations Capital, with so many cultural institutions such as the National Gallery of Australia, National Museum of Australia, National Library of Australia, Australian War Memorial, all with full time curatorial and conservation staff. They do this all the time and are best qualified to advise you on best practices.

Dear List I am putting on a display of historical costumes in our local library. I have at my disposal: - one tall glass case big enough for a mannequin - another tall case that has an adjustable shelf, presently fixed half-way - three rectangular glass cases lying flat suitable for books, gloves etc on display at table height. Does anyone know of any websites with pictures of costume displays in similar setups? I sew costumes but am not great at displaying and need to look at other sites for ideas on what/how to display.
