- Title
Reflections on the Development of the Study of Dress History and of Costume Curatorship: A Case Study of Anne Buck OBE.
- Authors
Jarvis, Anthea
- Abstract
On 12 May 2007, almost exactly two years after her death, the Costume Society held an Anne Buck Memorial Study Day in London entitled Studying Four Hundred Years of Fashion. This paper was written and delivered as the introduction to the Study Day. It attempted, through an examination of Anne Buck's work as curator of a costume collection, in particular as Keeper of the Gallery of English Costume, Manchester, from 1947 to 1972, to assess her outstanding contribution to the study of dress history and to the development and use of dress collections in museums; and to consider her legacy to historians and curators today, thirty-five years after her retirement.
