History

*UPDATE* IN 2018, COLLECTIONS ASSISTANT ELISE PUNDYK CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF THE BOXED TEXTILE COLLECTION. ON 8 FEBRUARY 2018, PUNDYK INTERVIEWED IKE LANIER ABOUT ARTIFACTS DONATED BY VARIOUS MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY. WHEN ASKED IF HE REMEMBERED THE ARTIFACT, “NOT REALLY. ‘CAUSE BY THE TIME I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE STUFF, MY PARENTS WERE PRETTY OLD. I WAS THE YOUNGEST… I DON’T REALLY REMEMBER, VAGUELY FAMILIAR.” PLEASE SEE PERMANENT FILE FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW.
