Working with objects from the Oberlin Heritage Center collection, you will

and folded storage. Keys for properly storing your textiles without 
spending a fortune will also be discussed.

Daughter of Oberlin Heritage Center member and super volunteer Sarah

conservation in 1988 while a student at Oberlin. After earning a B.A. in 
Art History from Oberlin College, she received a M.A. in Museum Studies 
from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 1993, specializing in costume 
and textile conservation. For five years she was an assistant conservator 
at the Textile Conservation Laboratory, Cathedral of St. John the Divine, 
in New York City. She was an advanced Mellon fellow at the Textile 
Conservation Center, American Textile History Museum, in Lowell, 
Massachusetts before founding Museum Textile Services in 1999. Camille is a 
Professional Associate of the American Institute for Conservation of 
Historic and Artistic Works. She counts the Oberlin Heritage Center among 
her nation-wide clients.
