The purpose of this project is to complete the documentation of the clothing and shoe finds from the Swedish warship Vasa (sunk 1628) and to make this information readily available to the research community and the public through a variety of digital media. The Vasa collection comprises over 5600 textile fragments and over 6000 leather fragments from a wide variety of garments and footwear. The material is in high demand from an international research community but is too fragile to be handled directly on a regular basis. By making the finds available digitally, they can be used in a wide range of research projects without risking their future preservation. The collection is unique in its size, variety and contextualization. It is the largest known collection of everyday clothing and shoes from ordinary people in a use context from its period, and is relevant to studies in fashion history, textile production, trade, and the social structure of the Swedish navy. A team of specialists will record the finds to a level suitable for research across all of these fields. The results will form part of the larger open-access collections database maintained by the Vasa Museum and will be accessible to the public in abbreviated form on the platform shared by many of Sweden’s museums, Digitalt Museum (www.digitaltmuseum.se).
