The project has four main aims:
1. To encourage Deliberately Concealed Garment finds to be reported and documented.
2. To raise awareness of and develop a better understanding of this folk practice.
3. To advance conservation techniques and practices that can be used to sensitively preserve such finds.
4. To use the garments found and reported to learn more about textile and dress history, and folk traditions.
