Early California Vestments and Liturgical Textiles Collection
About this Collection
The William H. Hannon Library's Early California Vestments and Liturgical Textiles collection provides enduring access to Rancho and Mission-era liturgical clothing used in California Catholic churches and missions during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These fragile and culturally significant garments were the first collection selected for digitization through the Costume Society of America's (CSA) endowment pilot program "Digital Angels" which aimed to assist organizations by training staff and volunteers to digitize their holdings of historic dress.
