Click here to view a recording of 600+ Wool Skirts: Collection Preview and Conversation, hosted by New York Textile Month in September 2024.
This presentation was a collaboration between Mae Colburn, Carol Colburn, and fashion archivist Sarah C. Byrd. We narrated the history of the collection, described our cataloging process, noted discoveries made along the way, and proposed possible futures for this collection and others like it. In converastion with Sarah, we considered the wool skirts within the broader context of fashion archives, and in relation to ideas assembled in the process of creating our collaborative annotated bibliography.
