Abstract
A team of conservators with expertise in textiles, objects, and paper, was formed to plan and execute the conservation of the 150 best fans from the collection of costume accessories of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The fans date from the 16th century to the present, and originate in the United States, Europe, and the Far East. Materials and construction, and damages resulting from use as costume accessories, storage and display, and previous repair, are described. Methods of conservation are given.
