Curatorial Remarks

Note

Accessioned 2014, acquired earlier. During a survey of collection items stored on the third floor in 2014, two bags of draperies were discovered in the Garment Room. Initial cataloging was done by Madeline Scholl, MP summer intern, so draperies could be packed; object needs label and more detailed examination [Jessa J. Krick, 10/20/2014].
