The Leatherby Libraries is pleased to now offer access to Bloomsbury Dress and Costume Library.

This database contains interdisciplinary resources on the study of dress and costume history, design, and creation from 3300 BCE to the present. However, the majority of coverage is on the last several centuries. Primary sources, scholarly and reference books, articles, and garment study videos are included in this database. Dress and costume from around the world are covered, as are topics like makeup and hair- and wig-styling in addition to clothing.

For more information, please contact the Chair of Resources & Scholarly Communications, Kristin Laughtin-Dunker, at laughtin@chapman.edu.
