History, although in the #past, can help shape the future. Local #historian and #entrepreneur Jennifer Keil, co-founder of 70 Degrees, aims to change how archivists preserve historical #data to show that history can be simultaneously fun and profitable.
Named for the ideal #storage temperature of artifacts, 70 Degrees uses both physical means and #digital technology to store historical objects, record oral history accounts, curate #museum exhibits and work with both government and businesses to preserve important records and events. The company manages a #temperature-controlled facility in Laguna Hills, which houses artifacts and lends them to organizations. Along with her sister and fellow co-founder Cynthia Keil – they have an expertise in oral history and interest in #information technology – the Keils noticed a need for digital and physical archives in local history. “Although we work in a very physical space, we are very much in the digital sphere, showing what’s physically in those storage containers so that groups borrowing information or artifacts can get a sense of what we have and make it easier to collaborate,” said Jennifer.
Jennifer Keil had an opportunity to showcase her ongoing historical projects to the Orange County Historical Commissioners which is in partnership with @OCParks. The theme of her presentation was #Curating #Communities. Participate in The Orange County Historical Commission 2nd annual public event at Irvine Ranch Historic Park on Saturday April 13, 2019 from 10:00am-2:00pm
Silk gazar is one of the coolest fabrics to work with. Loving these Balenciaga evening dresses, they are a perfect example that volume and shape can be perfected just through the use of an awesome fabric. Blue is from 1964, green is from 1967.

The SAM exhibit really is quite lovely, with walls painted to coordinate with the garments, and lovely vignettes as if the mannequins are all socializing together. #lace #sheer #bustle #taffeta #lavender #mannequin #exhibit #YSL #yvessaintlaurent #fashion #design #hautecouture #designer (at Seattle Art Museum)
