Description:

Whether it’s grandma’s wedding dress, a box of military uniforms, or a
heirloom quilt, many of us have textiles in our homes that we care deeply
about. Preserving these materials can be a challenge due to their
materials, size, or condition. This webinar will offer an introduction to
different physical characteristics and fibers and hazards faced by these
items. A discussion of cleaning and storage techniques that are appropriate
for home care will equip you to make good decisions so that your treasured
textiles last.


Participants in this webinar will come away with:

Basic knowledge of the physical characteristics of various textiles.

An understanding of the challenges to preserving their textiles.

Practical techniques for safe cleaning and storage of valued personal items
like wedding dresses, uniforms, and quilts.


Who should attend?

This webinar is intended for individuals with personal collections of
textiles. It was developed by the Preservation Week subcommittee of the
PARS Preservation Outreach Committee to offer a programming opportunity for
public libraries to share with their patrons.


Presenter:

Donia Conn is a book and paper conservator as well as an independent
preservation and collection care consultant with over 20 years of
experience, including 10 years of experience in instruction. She is also
adjunct faculty for the Simmons College School of Library and Information
