It has been gratifying receiving your responses to the War Laces website, both privately and on Arachne. http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object-groups/world-war-one-laces It makes us want to continue our volunteer work with the lace collection. Regretfully it took a couple days for all the high resolution images to fully upload to the website, so several of you were rightfully frustrated over the low quality. I think you will find better quality images now. Click on the image to expand, then in the upper right corner x to close it. To read the information, click expand in the upper right corner of the text, and for more information and sometimes more detailed images, click on the lower right Full view in the gray-ish banner after each lace. Hope this helps. We welcome more information and questions about these pieces if you have any. Later this summer a few more War Laces will be added to the website. The issue of the introduction coming up on every page is being addressed. Liz, yes, together with Carol Watson, I put together the lace display at the American History Museum for the IOLI Convention in Bethesda and was one of the volunteers in the main Textiles storage room. I was the one giving the talk about the War Laces at IOLI last year. Jeri, Thank you for adding the Hoover Library website.
