The peer-reviewed abstracts of research and design presentations summarize the broad extent of costume research, from historical and cultural analyses to educational, curatorial, and conservation practices. Each edition also highlights special sessions in which scholars discuss diverse issues facing the profession.
This annual, paperbound edition of abstracts is distributed to each member attending the national symposium and is available for purchase in our bookstore.
As a benefit of membership, Costume Society of America members may access, for free, electronic copies of CSA Abstracts and the 2020 Symposium Presentations Webpage.
