Clothing of your Ancestors

Despite the differences between our ancestors, even between our own family lines, our ancestors all had something in common--they got dressed. Learning about the clothes they wore and why can paint us a clearer portrait of who our ancestors were. Were they bound by constraints related to class or social status, ethnicity, or gender? What can the items or stories we may have inherited teach us? Learn more about the intersection of genealogy and family history with clothing and dress history!   

This Genealogy & History program is available both in-person at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, 8th floor AND online via Zoom. Register below for either option!
