August 2009 For two weeks, the RBC Library proudly displayed the art project of second-year student Ginger Birkner. Ginger created this "Colonial Curio Cabinet" highlighting French fashion for art class.
Ginger plans to transfer to The College of William and Mary to obtain a customized degree they have specially created for her as a Cultural Historian focusing on the household developments, material developments, clothing, accessories and toys of the 19th and 20th century. Ginger explains her life's ambition in her own words: I then hope to get my Masters in Public History with a minor in Museum Studies so I can restore all of the remaining clothing of importance in the Museums who hold it before it disintergrates and I die, taking this knowledge with me. I will never be famous or rich, but I shall die happily knowing I have saved items over a hundred years old to survive another hundred years beyond me and the future of my children's children! I have dolls of great importance, and vintage clothing too that will one day reside in those museums as a bequest upon my death.
