Presented by
Massachusetts Historical Society
Join Kimberly Alexander, University of New Hampshire and Sara Georgini, MHS to learn about doing original research on fashion and costumes. Antique textiles, images of historical figures, and material culture hold a wealth of information that can enrich personal stories, explain relationships, and contextualize the world that people occupied. However, these sources can seem daunting to explore. Two experts on fashion and material culture will guide you through unraveling the stories woven into history’s fabric.
