New Textile Database Now Online
We are more than pleased to announce that our Open-Access
Bibliographica Textilia Historiae Database is now available
online as a beta version before it is formally launched later in
2010.
As you may be aware, the Bibliographica Textilia Historiae, the
first and only annotated bibliography attempting to document all
facets of the world history of textiles was first published in 1997
as a printed book. At that time it contained over 5,000 titles -
printed books and pamphlets, serials, articles and offprints,
dissertations, royal decrees and laws- published since the late
fifteenth century to date, treating all aspects of the history of
handwoven textiles, including woven and printed textiles,
embroidery, lace, tapestry, dyeing, carpets, weaving and fiber
technology, pattern books, and costume, among many other subjects.
Since that time we have been working to prepare an enlarged edition,
which now contains over 9,000 records with over 25,000 individual
entries of authors, articles, reviews and books, of which circa 750
titles are pre-1800. This new enlarged edition is now available
online as a open-access database fully-searchable by multple
keywords and criteria. It is free to use without any charge or
registration whatsoever. For more information and to access the
database, click here.
To use the database just click here to first go to the information
page to read the search rules, and then follow the link and go to
the database itself to begin your search.
As you are doing this we would very much appreciate if you can give
us your feedback so we can improve the database before it is
officially launched.
In addition, we are also interested in establishing links
between our database and other other open-access online
textile-related databases. If this is of interest to you and your
library, please contact us at the above email address.
Thank you, Seth Siegelaub
