Hello friends,
The Filson Historical Society has a small collection of spinning wheels, flax wheels and spinning weasels. I'm looking to refine this collection and possibly deaccession duplicate wheels. I would also like to learn more about the wheels so that we could highlight them more in our collection. I'm looking for someone who could come in (pro bono), look at the collection, help me figure out if any of the wheels are missing parts, which ones are important, etc. If anyone works with volunteers or interpreters who are spinners, I would love to invite them to look at the collection. Thanks!
