American
Memory:
The
American Memory presents Quilts and Quiltmaking in America, 1978
- 1996, a treasure trove of audio and video recordings, and photographs,
of quiltmakers all across the country. This online exhibition showcases
materials from two American Folklife Center collections: The Blue
Ridge Parkway Folklife Project, and the "All American Quilt
Contest" sponsored by Lands' End and Good Housekeeping. Together
these collections provide a glimpse into America's diverse quilting
tradition. American Memory is presented by the American Folklife
Center, at the Library of Congress, which was created by Congress
in 1976 "to preserve and present American Folklife."
