When I was studying the lace at the Art Institute of Chicago I ran into the
same problem Tamara mentions. The museum allowed me to purchase slides of
some of their laces (but insisted I only use them for private study, not
publication in any form whatsoever). Their staff photographer took the
Hello Everybody,
for a lecture about fans, years ago, I asked in our museums for the permission
to take photos. And was successful in one in HH an in one in Belgium. I got the
permission for the lecture and at that time also for printing in a book because
I gave the origin photos to the museum.
Sorry, it wasn't the photo it was the slide I gave to the museum.

Hi everyone and Sue who asked:

coloured laces)
scanners are also usually much higher definition than cameras
and you dont have to wory about lighting conditions, wobbly hands, ect)
Good advice for taking photos of lace at home. For photographs on the spot,
at a museum though we have to work with the hand held.
Another thing I thought of, if one has just the cell phone camera, take the
snapshot but don't choose the send option which has a sub-option of saving,
save directly
The biggest problem with photographing lace in the study rooms of museums
is the lack of light, especially since you usually can't use a flash, and
even if you could, it would wash out the detail. When selecting a camera try
to get one that functions well in low light and has very little
Bev Your advice on how to get in focus shots is very helpful. I was pretty
good with an optical, film camera, but have been very poor with a digital. I
will try all your suggestions.

What will it take to open these treasures up to research? Is this the
next big project for Arachne?

Another issue no-one's mentioned yet is credentials. You may know how to study
lace without harming it, and you may be passionately dedicated to
