Notes
Additional context: The Texas Fashion Collection was housed in Scoular Hall from about 1992 until 2013. At the time of the move, the collection contained between 17,000 and 20,000 items of historic, artistic, and couture clothing and accessories. Packing for the move began late 2012, with the bulk of the work being done between March and July of 2013. The entire collection was moved over a 5 day period in late August 2013. The collection was moved to a new facility on the UNT campus, which had been completed about one week before the move.
TFC staff and volunteers visible in the video include: Sharon Kremer; Elizabeth Ferring; Janelle McCabe; Erin Barbutes; Robynn Amaba; Jasmine Milligan; Dawn Figueroa; Myra Walker; Blake Hampton; Edward Hoyenski; and various construction workers and movers, names not known at time of cataloging.
