The Historic Costume & Textiles
Collection is a scholarly and artistic resource of apparel and textile material
culture, jointly administered by the College of Education and Human Ecology and
the OSU Libraries. The 11,500+ holdings encompass a range of three dimensional
objects such as textiles and articles of clothing and accessories for men,
women, and children, including national dress costume, from the mid-18th century
to contemporary 21st century designers. The Collection also houses a number of
period fashion magazines, fashion plates, swatch books and commercial patterns.
Our mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret textile and apparel material
culture. Particular strengths of the Collection are objects pertaining to
central Ohio and the U.S. fashion industry.
