What we do
The Costume Society
of Nova Scotia (CSNS) was formed in 1981 to promote the study and preservation
of examples of historic and contemporary costume, both civilian and military.
The Society encourages interest in the history, development and conservation
of Nova Scotian costume and items of personal adornment. We offer learning
opportunities and professional development through workshops and hands-on
programming. One of the Society's primary goals is to facilitate and promote
communication between Society members, government agencies, and other organizations.
Who we are
The Society's membership,
comprised of individuals and organizations interested in costume, spans
Nova Scotia and is open to both amateurs and professionals. Representation
includes collectors, museum professionals, designers, costumers, reenactors,
researchers, historians, and students.
