The Beth Naylor Collection, in the Russell area, is receiving funding from the provincial government.
The funding of $6,760 will be used to purchase a travel trailer to transport the Beth Naylor Historic Clothing Collection to different places for the public to view.
The collection began when Miss Naylor started collecting clothing in the late 1930s when she was given a black dress by Mrs. John McMillan. Since then the collection has grown to some 600 pieces.
In the province's release, they say the collection opens a window to the past and into the lives of the people who lived there.
“I know how important this collection of historic clothing is to residents of the Russell area, but indeed to our entire province,” said Greg Nesbitt, MLA for Riding Mountain Constituency.
