Digital Dress
“Digital Dress Collections,” is a collaboration of the Wayne State University (WSU) Library System and the Detroit Historical Museum, the Henry Ford (museum), and Meadow Brook Hall at Oakland University. It is a universally accessible web portal that “virtually unifies” 5,000 digital images of Detroit-worn men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing and accessories. The multi-institutional collection supports interdisciplinary research and teaching on significant changes in popular culture, industrialization, inventions, labor organization, and Detroit’s socio-economic, racial, and ethnic mix during a period of urban transformation spanning 1800 and 2000.
