Mr. Lincoln's Coat

[Jim Garrett]

There are so many issues regarding conservation, preservation, etc. My own personal belief is that there is a great responsibility to conserve and protect a relic of great historic value, such as the coat or pillow. But I also feel that, taking the utmost care, these relics should be shared, at the least, on a limited basis.

There should be a rotation to bring items out of storage, even if it's just for a very brief period. That would allow for an updated inspection, and re-evaluation of display and storage techniques.
