Re: Jackie Kennedy's Pink Dress
If my recollection serves correctly, I believe that it was the late Jackie Kennedy Onais that requested the dress not be displayed. I believe a family member boxed the dress up upon Jackie's return to the White House, with instructions that it was not to be opened. I believe I gleamed this information from either The History Channel or Biography.

It is a question more political than legal. There are non-paper objects in
the archives which were evidence in trials. I can't believe the dress was
evidence, there was plenty of other evidence--and the car certainly isn't
in a vault at NARA.
I note that the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology has bits of Lincoln's
skull on display--as well as the pancreas of the person who assassinated
James Garfield, and various museums have items with Lincoln's blood on
them.
