THE DESIGN COLLECTION- (at Staffordshire University) was established in the early 1980's.

It includes many articles relating to advertising / costume & textiles / periodicals / utility products / plastics , and has now become an important design reference consisting of a large number of fascinating items. The task of recording, cataloguing and labelling is of major consideration where voluntary help is assisting to this end. Particularly relating to the handling and labelling of the costume collections is the need for deft needlework ability. It is an area where Ruth Brown, the Design Collection Manager, hopes to tap-in to much latent expertise which exists from within our members. Immediate past chairman Brian Haynes has agreed to coordinate and steer activities to this end.
