I am sending this to the list on behalf of a friend who is not on Museum-L. Please respond to Jenny Yearous, NOT me. Thanks, Nancy Russell ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 29 Aug 1997 08:38:13 -0500 (CDT) From: jenny yearous <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: African American Quilts Dear Ms. Palmer, A friend forwarded your message on Museum-L about looking for quilts. I am the collections manager at the newly established International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. We recently received a collection of 950 quilts from the private collection of Robert and Ardis James. Our collection includes both traditional (antique) and contemporary art quilts. I am not yet certain of our traditional collection but I will be happy to check the records to find out for sure. We do have a few contemporary quilts by African American Artists. Specifically, quilts by Faith Ringgold and Anna Williams. I would be happy to talk or correspond with any one concerning our collection and its holdings. You can reach me through e-mail at [log in to unmask] or at 234 H.E. Building University of Nebraska Lincoln, NE 68583-0802 You can also visit our Web site at www.ianr.unl.edu/tcd/quilts/homepage.htm The web site is new but it does tell you a little about us and the collection. I hope this will be of help. Jenny Yearous Collections Manager --------- End forwarded message ----------
