It certainly seems that Arizona is quite remarkable in its collections.
The Professor has scanned a tremendous amount of material just from
the U of A library.
It is sad to report, however, that the Prof is terminally ill. We are
working on handing his website over to the charge of someone who has
been working with him in the weaving department, as I have with the
lace, and it looks as though the transfer is going very smoothly. The
Complex Weavers are also involved, but mostly as the repository of his
vast library on weaving.
I have been assured by all and sundry that the lace section of his site
will stay firmly where it is, and I am scanning as usual. If anyone
has any
pre-1923 lace books they can lend me for scanning, or would like to
scan them themselves (we are fussy, but I'll be glad to tell you the
requirements), I would love to hear about them. Suggestions for books,
articles, and other such things are helpful, too, as I can often ask
for things through interlibrary loan.
Again, I want to thank everyone who sent messages of encouragement and
support when we first found out about this devastating turn of events.
They really did help during that dark time when we were all dealing
with the sudden shock of the Professor's illness.
