Dear Jill, Ray Anne, and All Other ARLIS List Members,
This is a subject very near and dear to my heart...and desk. I
would be happy to organize and moderate a session on Costume
Research at the LA ARLIS next year. My area of concentration as a
librarian and visual resources professional is costume studies. I
have just published a book on costume conservation, restoration, and
documentation (the research for this was sponsored in part by ARLIS)
and am ready to move into my next project - examining research
methods and tools used for costume and textiles studies.
Now, before I can go any further, has there been a call for papers
yet? I don't remember coming across anything on the list. Also,
who else out there is interested in this topic?
Thanks,
Miranda Howard Haddock
Visual Resources Librarian

Sounds like a GREAT idea, Jill. I would take it one step further.
Have a
session on researching the "look/style" of historical periods.
This includes
costume, interior decor, architecture, furniture, etc. I have done
a library
guide on that for the bibliographic instruction sessions the
Theater Dept
faculty ask me to do once a year. Many theater designers don't
know how to do
this sort of research -- at least when they are grad students!
They can learn
from us and we can learn from them! It would be a wonderful thing
to offer us
in LA/Hollywood! What better place to find experts, other than
NYC? Ray Anne
