To America and back.... I passed this on to my sister, who works for
Hampshire Council's library service. Their local studies department
hadn't heard of the project and send their thanks back round the loop
for the information!

Passing this alone from another list...
Good news! A brand new research resource for c16th dress arrives on line - a
pilot database of images is available at:
http://www.jmdsrv1.dyndns.org/tudoreffigies
This is the first stage of a project to photograph and make available
photographs of Tudor effigies in UK churches. The pilot database contains 44
effigies with photographs of items and features of dress. This represents
about two per cent of the material that could be compiled from similar
sources.
Eventually, each effigy and its details will have a description with
appropriate c16th terms and an explanation of how they were worn.
The database has been compiled by Dr Jane Malcolm-Davies at Winchester
School of Art. Feedback on the usefulness of the images and suggestions for
improvement will help with an application for continued funding for the
project.
