You might want to look at Margaret's book: http://www.amazon.com/Your-Vintage-Keepsake-Costume-Storage/dp/096764450X/ref=pd_cp_b_2 A whole bunch of us think it's pretty useful.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Unravelling Textiles: A Handbook for the Preservation of Textile Collections, Foekje Boersma Can anyone comment on this book? I'm looking for one on this subject, but I'd like one that is focused on practical application of techniques. I'm not looking for too-basic (avoid light, humidity, temperature extremes) or ones that sound like grad school papers (contextualize, social construct, stakeholder, empower, dialectic). I need one that will inform me how/if to clean and repair or stabilize against further damage. thanks!
