Indian textiles produced since antiquity conveys the history, the culture and tradition of the past. A number of people in our society have immense wealth of rare textile artefacts, collected or inherited over a period of time, not accessible to all interested in this field. Museums are the only means for obtaining an understandable and complete information regarding culture, history, tradition, arts and crafts and various other noteworthy features distinctive to a region. Museums also offer the opportunity to visitors so that they can have a quick look of rarest and bestest artifacts in the world. There are numerous museums in various cities of Uttar Pradesh that have exclusive artifacts, Allahabad Sangrahalaya is one of them. It has an incredibly large collection of objects, ranging from paintings, textiles, coins, sculptures, manuscripts and jewellery. The present study was undertaken to study various types of textile antiquities preserved, display and storage techniques used and conservation and preservation method employed in Allahabad museum of Uttar Pradesh.Keywords

Natural dyes are known for its soft and lustrous neutral colour. Now a day, it also gaining importance due to its eco-friendly nature with human being and environment. India has a rich sources of natural dyes and one of them are lichens. The lichens were traditionally used for dyeing the woollen yarn and fabric but after the invention of synthetic dyes, the use of lichen declines. In the present study among the different sources of Lichen, Flavoparmelia caperata was used to dye the silk fabric by standardise the dyeing recipe. Aqueous medium was used for the extraction of the dye. The dye was used for dyeing of degummed silk cloth and treated with four chemical auxiliaries i.e. Citric acid, Sodium sulphate, Oxalic acid and Tartaric acid. Study about fastness tests of dyed clothes was undertaken. Large range of shades was obtained because of varying chemical auxiliaries per cent and combination. It was observed that treatment with chemical auxiliaries improved the colourfastness properties of the dyed samples.Keywords

Textile researchers and industrialists face many challenges because of increasing global competition in textiles. Consumers also give the great appreciate for the high value added apparel fabrics with novel finishes. As all over the world, consumer demands for the products which have the functionality. Some of the examples of functionality are product attributes such as wrinkle resistance, soil release, water repellency, flame retardancy and resistance to microbial invasion. Among these, antimicrobial finish is considered as the important parameter for the functional textiles which find a variety of application such as health and hygiene products, specially the garments worn close to skin and several medical applications, such as infection control. The present study was undertaken with the objectives to apply the antimicrobial finish on cotton fabric, to prepare utility articles from the developed antimicrobial finished cotton fabric and calculate their cost. Extract of Tulsi leaves and Onion skin were used as antimicrobial agent. To apply the antimicrobial finish two methods i.e. direct and microencapsulation were used. After the application of finish, treated fabrics were tested under standard test method to check the percentage of quantitative bacterial reduction and qualitative assessment of antimicrobial activity. Both the methods showed good antimicrobial properties. Wash fastness results showed that microencapsulated fabric showed good antimicrobial property even after ten washes so it was found that microencapsulated fabric was more durable than the fabric treated with direct application method. Physical properties such as crease recovery, drapability, stiffness property and thickness of the fabric were also assessed. The cost of utility articles which were prepared by the treated fabric were kitchen apron was Rs. 727.5/- per piece, kitchen gloves was Rs. 1350/- per pair, napkin set was Rs. 707.5/- per piece and mask was Rs. 1331.5/- per piece.Keywords
