Your quilts will be photographed, a physical analysis made, and
biographical data about the quiltmaker obtained. Have as much of the
following information as possible ready at the registration: the
quiltmaker’s name and date of birth, date and place of marriage,
date of death and burial site, spouse’s name, parent’s name with
dates of birth, death and city or country of origin.
The data collected will be forwarded to the Folklife Archives and
the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society web site at Western Kentucky
University in Bowling Green. This information is available for
scholarly research and is invaluable to quilt historians,
folklorists, genealogists and those interested in social history,
especially women’s studies.
A muslin label, containing the registration number and ready to sew
to the back of the registered quilt may be obtained for a nominal
fee. Quilts made in Kentucky before 1960 or quilts made elsewhere
during the same time period and now owned by Kentuckians may be
registered. |
