REGISTER NOW... FROM DESIGN TO FABRIC
We are focusing on the collection of digitised design drawings for woven interior textiles from the 20th century: help us recognise motifs, stamps and instructions via the online crowdsourcing platform DoeDat. Together we will try to tag all 857 drawings!
REGISTER NOW... AUDIOVISUAL COLLECTION
In the coming years, we will be putting our documentary collections in the spotlight. Are you fascinated by images and stories? Help us to register photographs, postcards, films and testimonies from our rich flax and textile history and make them more accessible. Together, we can give these valuable stories a permanent home.
DEMONSTRATION COLLECTION
Curious about where materials come from or would you like to process flax or other fibres (hemp, nettles, jute) yourself? Our demonstration collection of 12 hand tools is available for research into historical techniques or small-scale experiments with fibre extraction and biomaterials.
