Library Project
Help us Expand our ' Visual Dictionary of Costume'
to Include the Museum's Entire Collection
| Funding
for this project will greatly enhance access to the collections of
the Kent State University Museum, which possesses one of the largest
and finest representations of costume and decorative arts from around
the world. The museum is already a major cultural asset for the region,
as well as a teaching resource for the Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman
School of Fashion Design and Merchandising. With access to the collection
via the Internet, the museum would reach global audiences. Features and Benefits: * Provide a global survey of 100 years of fashion history accessible through the World Wide Web. * Assist those in a broad spectrum of disciplines who are exploring the social, cultural, political and historical implications of the mode of dress on the fabric of American life. * Enhance global appreciation of the history of costume through use of the Web, state-of-the-art archival technology and curatorial expertise. *Allow students, faculty and colleagues from other institutions to access collections electronically, thus aiding conservation efforts.
