Subject: Storage of textiles
We have a clothing collection which we are moving into our archives. We want to store them on hangers and in such a way that dust cannot settle on the clothing. The DeYoung Museum in San Francisco uses muslin bags and then houses their clothing in metal cabinets to control dust. We cannot afford the cabinetry right now, either financially or in terms of space requirements. So, I would like to know if anyone uses or knows of a manufacturer of plastic clothing bags which are constructed of polypropylene or another safe form of plastic.
