We found Borroughs to be absolutely wonderful
to work with. We just finished moving our collection of 30,000 pieces of
costume and textiles to the new facility they helped us design. We have
posted a web page about the move including details on the design of the storage
units on the Philadelphia Museum of Art Web Site. http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/22-398-552-440.html Linda Gottfried, the Borroughs product
manager and I will be giving a paper about the project at the Textile Specialty
Group session at AIC. Kevin O’Brien, from O’Brien Systems, who
installed the cabinets, is also planning to be there. Feel free to
contact me directly if you have any other questions. Sara Reiter Conservator of Costume and Textiles From: Textile
Conservators [mailto: Does anyone have any good or bad experiences using Burroughs cabinetry
for textile storage? Mostly for ethnographic textiles, not hanging
costume collections. Thanks, Diana :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Diana Zlatanovski |
