BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
Fonda Ghiardi Thomsen was a textile
conservator. Most noted for her work on
flags, she also conserved quilts, samplers, military uniforms, and civilian clothing,
most notably the suit worn by Abraham Lincoln the night he was assassinated. She was interested in solving the problems
associated with exhibiting large textiles. She became the director of Textile
Preservation Associates in
SCOPE AND
CONTENT
The bulk of the collection consists of treatment
files from Textile Preservation Associates (TPA), including treatment
proposals; analyses of the items to be conserved; reports of work done;
photographs of items before, during, and after treatment; and samples of
threads and fabrics. Often, drawings
showing details of construction of the items are included, and there is a cloth
pattern for the suit of clothes worn by Abraham Lincoln the night he was
assassinated. Sometimes, there is a
history of the item being conserved or information about the person or military
unit who made or used the item. Most of
the photographs are slides or are on CDs.
The collection also includes
treatment reports completed while Ms. Thomsen worked for the National Park
Service, reports of surveys and conservation assessments done for various
collections, some correspondence, papers written by Ms. Thomsen, and papers
presented at meetings sponsored by the Harpers Ferry Regional Textile Group, an
organization of textile conservators working in and around
ORGANIZATION
The files are in five series:
I.
Private client treatment files;
II.
Institutional client treatment files;
III.
Smithsonian Institution and National Park Service (NPS) files;
Katherine Fowler Richey project
IV.
Correspondence; surveys; conservation assessment programs; papers;
books; mounting samples; and slides; and
V.
Harpers Ferry Regional Textile Group publications and tapes.
Within each series, the files are in alphabetical
order. For clients in Series I and II
with more than one file, the files are then arranged in numerical order by
Textile Preservation Associates (TPA) file number. Treatment reports which Ms. Thomsen completed
while she was an employee of the NPS are in Series III, while treatment reports
done by TPA as an outside contractor for the NPS are in Series II.
