J Kerezman Costumes: An Archived Web Page from 2000
This editorial describes an archived web page associated with J Kerezman Costumes, formerly presented at the address CostumeCostumeCostume.com. The page is treated here as a historical artifact. Nothing in this text should be read as a statement about any current business, website, ownership, or service.
What the Archived Page Recorded
The page carried a date of November 11, 2000, and identified the site as a new web address. It announced that the site would undergo construction in the following months. It also noted a temporary closure beginning November 12 and extending to the end of that month, while inviting visitors to continue sending email requests. These are records of a moment in time, not schedules in effect today.
The archived text described the business as located just north of Hollywood and as having made costumes for more than twenty years, ten of them professionally. It listed specialties in futuristic wardrobe, original concepts, and work for motion picture and television, including design, construction, and set support. It also mentioned made-to-measure costumes for personal or promotional use, original concepts, recreations, and period wear.

How to Read This Record
