Board accepts two World War II uniforms, plans rotation and mannequin purchase
Summary
The board accepted two World War II uniforms donated by local families (one from Peggy Fox/Clark and one associated with James Benjamin Hardy), and discussed acquiring a second mannequin to rotate displays.
The Emery County Museum Board voted to accept two World War II uniforms donated by community members and discussed acquiring a second mannequin so uniforms can be rotated out of display.
S1 outlined the donations: one uniform from Peggy Fox (now Peggy Clark) and another tied to James Benjamin Hardy, noting Hardy’s biographical details (born Castle Dell, Utah, Feb. 1, 1911) and local ties to coal mining. S1 said the museum would like to rotate uniforms so they are not on display continuously and recommended purchasing a mannequin; Committee member (S3) moved to accept the uniforms and the motion was seconded and carried.
Board members agreed that rotating uniforms will help preserve textiles. Staff will arrange for mannequins and prepare exhibit write-ups provided by donor families for display labels.
