Measurable Outcome(s)
Targets achieved. We achieved the results because MACC's Beth McLaughlin is an expert textile conservator and Rose is an experienced artifact courier and object handler. A post or story about the preservation of the Solidarity Shirt, along with the shirt's story, is on our Facebook page, on Twitter, on our Virtual exhibition page and on our museum website. We are submitting news of the shirt's conservation to our local media for a possible feature story to promote knowledge and awareness of the shirt and to highlight the preservation work.
