The MCHS collections storage spaces are filled with wonderful things. Some are on exhibit; others are featured here on A Fine Collection; and still more are patiently waiting for their day to shine. It’s important to remember that they can be waiting for YOU, dear readers, as well as my curatorial self! Our collections are held in the public trust, and (with an appointment) can be made available for research and study. For example, here’s a fabulous blog post on one of our quilts, written by researchers Mary Holton Robare and Lynda Salter Chenoweth. Their expertise is in Quaker quilts, and their work has added greatly to our own information. Take a moment to read about the Fairfield quilt!
