The Smithsonian Institution launched a new Kickstarter campaign yesterday in an effort to raise $300,000 for their preservation efforts with the Dorothy ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz that is in their collection. After just one day, they’ve already raised over one third of their stated goal.
There is a great feature about this development on the ABC 10 website, which includes thoughts from Richard Barden, Manager of Preservation Services at the National Museum of American History as well as Tom Spina of Tom Spina Designs.
