The staff of the Shilling has worked with the Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, Mass., as consultants and display designers on two major exhibits: Picturing Our Past – Frontier Challenges 1600-1720 (opened October 2003 to January 2004), and Picturing Our Past – The Colonies Come of Age 1720-1775 (October 2003 to March 2005). In addition artifact selection and display work, training sessions and materials were provided for the docents.
In 2002, Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site, Pemaquid, Maine, contracted with the Shilling to research and provide reproductions of a late 17th Century cod fisherman’s clothing. Knitting patterns, as well as clothing patterns, were developed. A booklet with supporting materials was provided to the museum.
