Under normal circumstances scholars and other visitors are welcome to contact the Collection to set up appointments to view textiles and/or access the HLATC database, but this is no longer possible due to our impending move. Over the next few years our holdings will be housed in an off-site storage facility and we will not be able to bring them out for study.
We do hope to reopen to a limited extent once we are re-established in our temporary quarters in Sterling Hall in early 2010: database access will be restored, and we will be able to show roughly 180 pieces |
selected for what we’re calling our Interim Teaching Collection (ITC for short). Once we are settled in our new building a few years hence we look forward to being able to host visitors of all kinds to the Collection again.
In the meantime, please explore our online exhibitions and essays on featured textiles elsewhere on this website.
We regret that the HLATC staff is unable to respond to inquiries regarding the care of textiles and clothing. We will be posting a list of resources on this subject and offering a workshop led by Assistant Curator Diana Zlatanovski titled "Caring for Your Textiles" in Spring 2010.
