The Yager Museum is requesting funds to purchase two rolled textile storage racks form the Borroughs Corporation. The racks will be used to store the museum's collection of twenty-two 19th century coverlets. The new storage units will allow the museum to properly care for the hand-made coverlets, which are important historical works from the surrounding region. Currently, 14 coverlets are rolled and mounted on a wall using L-brackets, the remainder are stored folded and stacked on open metal shelving. |
