Do you know anyone or any institution in the metro Detroit area with an Amish collection? Jeff Smith, author of* Becoming Amish*, will be speaking at the Caroline Kennedy Library in Dearborn Heights in April, and I would like to create a display of Amish artifacts to promote his presentation. However, I do not have a source for Amish artifacts (clothing, kitchen tools, quilts, etc.). I tried The Henry Ford and while they may have items, the cost of a loan would exceed the speaker's fee. If you know of a source in southeast Michigan that would be willing to lend Amish artifacts for free or low cost, I would greatly appreciate contact information. Thank you! -- Lynn Bryer Skazalski Supervising Librarian, MILS, MS Caroline Kennedy Library 24590 George Street Dearborn Heights, MI 48127 lskazalski@ci.dearborn-heights.mi.us 313-791-3824
