Digital Resources Archive – Members Only
The Sampler Consortium International is creating an archive of resources about samplers and sampler scholarship. Included in the searchable database are linked and annotated lists of online resources useful to needlework enthusiasts, designers, collectors, and scholars. The Digital Resources Archive will ultimate provide information, images, and links to a variety of useful resources found online: sampler collections, digital books, podcasts and videos, descriptions of past exhibitions, and other resources too numerous to mention. Access is free to all members of the Sampler Consortium International. The Digital Resources Archive will grow over time and we encourage you to provide feedback and suggestions to enhance and extend this valuable resource.
