The Quilt Index Images of over 100,000 quilts and counting
The Library of Congress. Enter “quilt” in the search engine and a great many images and articles will be returned, including WPA interviews with quilters during the Depression.
I’m still working on retrieving articles from the old site. These should be coming soon:
- How to research a quilt’s history
- Using archives and databases (like Quilt Index)
- Reading old pattern publications
- Photographing and documenting quilts
- Provenance and record keeping
- Ethical considerations in research
