The Bucknell Fashion Archive is a collection of clothing, accessories, and textiles spanning from the mid-19th century to the present day.
Our hands-on archive serves as a resource for students, faculty, and staff, offering opportunities to explore the history, cultural significance, and technical craftsmanship of fashion across centuries. The collection is utilized by the Bucknell Department of Theater and Dance, supporting design pedagogy and creating opportunities to engage with curatorial and preservation research.
Natalie Shoch worked with DP&S to catalog and digitally document the archive beginning in 2023, with the goal of preserving and expanding this resource for future generations of scholars, artists, and fashion enthusiasts. Whether for research, education, or creative inspiration, the Bucknell Fashion Archive provides a window into the ever-evolving world of fashion.
