Subject: Survey on textile foxing
I am a post-graduate intern working in the Textile Lab at the Canadian Conservation Institute. I am undertaking a research project that explores the characterization and treatment of foxing on textiles. While foxing has been widely studied within the paper conservation field, little has been established about it in a textile context. As a precursor to my research, I have created a survey for conservators and collections managers working with textiles. The survey is intended to collect information on the extent of the problem that foxing poses to textile collections. It also seeks to ascertain the general opinion of what foxing on textiles is, what it looks like, and where it appears. I would be extremely grateful if those working with textiles and textile collections would complete this survey, accessible via <URL:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/foxing_eng> The results of the survey will be available to participants if they are interested. Many thanks in advance, your time is greatly appreciated, Sophia Zweifel *** Conservation DistList Instance 30:10 Distributed: Saturday, July 23, 2016 Message Id: cdl-30-10-014 ***Received on Friday, 22 July, 2016
