Interesting that this subject should have come up just now. I have received a group of books through the kind offices of Vibeke Ervo and Karen Thomson, and one of them is all about the Armenian lace of the 19th and 20th centuries. Lots of nice pictures and part of the text has been translated into Russian, French,and English.
This book has a publication date of 1966, which as you all know is out of the "safe" copyrighted period we usually work in (pre-1923). I told this to the Professor, and he said that he could take a chance of putting it on his web site, but it couldn't go onto a CD. All the more reason for everyone to keep watching the site. (http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html) I have just come back from a few days of scanning in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia University (used to be the School of Textiles) has a beautiful new library full of luscious lace books to scan. I only had time to do five more Bulletins of the Needle and Bobbin Club, which brings us up to within five issues of having the entire collection. Again, check the web site. The Professor has put all the articles of special interest to lacemakers in our section, but all of them are to be found on his main page.
