I didn't know that University's would do that (or could do that). I also have an antique wedding dress that has been in my family for years and while we figure it is about 120-140 years old, we really don't know. I would love to find out more about it and it's age.
I'm sure that one of the Universities in Michigan has an extensive quilt collection -- I remember seeing a magazine story about it once. If I can find something on the Web I'll send it to you.
