Rarely seen objects, drawn from more than two centuries of clothing and textiles on Nantucket, demonstrates the skill and artistry of island makers and reveal the stories that clothing and textiles can tell.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo many aspects of island history can be explored through textiles and clothing,\u201d said Michael Harrison, NHA Chief Curator and Obed Macy Research Chair. \u201cThe NHA is excited to present visitors with a rare look at some of the most intriguing objects in our collection\u2014the clothing and textiles that people created and used on Nantucket in the past.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><span class=\"TextRun SCXW115565413 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW115565413 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\" data-ccp-charstyle-defn=\"{&quot;ObjectId&quot;:&quot;f7888757-15dc-4d78-ad6b-e21cf0978e24|51&quot;,&quot;ClassId&quot;:1073872969,&quot;Properties&quot;:[201342446,&quot;1&quot;,201342447,&quot;5&quot;,201342448,&quot;1&quot;,201342449,&quot;1&quot;,469777841,&quot;Calibri&quot;,469777842,&quot;&quot;,469777843,&quot;Calibri&quot;,469777844,&quot;Calibri&quot;,201341986,&quot;1&quot;,469769226,&quot;Calibri&quot;,268442635,&quot;22&quot;,469775450,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,201340122,&quot;1&quot;,134233614,&quot;true&quot;,469778129,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,335572020,&quot;1&quot;,469778324,&quot;Default Paragraph Font&quot;]}\"><strong>Exhibition Themes<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Exhibition themes explored textile production and trade\u2014from raw materials to finished garments\u2014as well as the relationships, communities, identities, and values revealed by textile objects created and used by Nantucketers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Making<\/strong>.

Evidence of strategic construction and alteration, mending and fabric reuse, demonstrate how islanders historically cared for and valued clothing and textiles.

Carried out across eighteen months, this cataloging and rehousing project ensured the long-term preservation of the textile collection while increasing access and visibility for research and display. Plans for an exhibition based on the new insights revealed by the inventory are now being realized in <em>Behind the Seams.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The guest curator for the exhibition was\u00a0 Jennifer Nieling, an independent costume and textile specialist whose association with the NHA goes back to 2015 when she inventoried the menswear collection and mounted the first of many costumes for NHA exhibition projects. In 2017 and 2018, she led the IMLS-funded collection inventory with the help of interns Meg Pierson and Ariana Bishop and volunteer Robin Campbell. A graduate of Boston University and the Fashion &amp; Textile Studies master\u2019s program at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Nieling now specializes in costume mounting and display through her business, JLN Costume Mounting LLC. She continues to pursue independent research and has published on the history of Nantucket Looms and weaver Andy Oates.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cThe NHA\u2019s textile collection is a significant one, critically important as a gateway for research into better understanding Nantucket\u2019s history and changing culture.
