Do you know about the Quilt Index a joint project of The Alliance for American Quilts, MATRIX: The Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University and the Michigan State University Museum. Read more about the history?  It represents years of research and development to bring together quilt information in a centralized online tool for education, research, and public access. 

The Quilt Index aims to be a central resource that incorporates a wide variety of sources and information on quilts, quiltmakers and quiltmaking. 

This will include:

• images and information on privately held quilts compiled by state and regional quilt documentation projects in the United States and internationally;
• images and information on quilts in museums, libraries, and private collections;
• images and information on quilt-related ephemera;
• lesson plans, online exhibits, journals and essays;
• bibliographies of secondary materials relevant to quilt study; and
• finding aids developed to assist researchers with locating hard-to-find quilt-related primary and secondary materials in public collections.

This website currently features images and information, provided by an array of contributors, on thousands of quilts from documentation projects, museums, libraries, and private collections.

And, you can take it with you!
