The title is ‘Legacy: textile studies, the past informing the present’. The ETSG is thus looking for papers that explore any aspect of the legacies of the study of early textiles. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Pioneers in the study and reconstruction of early textiles,
- Collections, their histories and their futures,
- Fresh insights gained by applying new methodologies to old collections and archives.
Definitely virtually, and taking place this Saturday, is the next EXARC textile chat. As usual, you can find it on their Discord server, and it will start at 15:00 CET. This month, the topic is embroidery.
