Stories from the Archives: Samplers

Live Broadcast: February 11, 2021
Presented by: Judy Lucey and Todd Pattison

The Archives at American Ancestors collects the material culture and written history of families across the country. For young women of the past, the creation of samplers were an important exercise and expression of skill; for those in the present, these samplers can provide important family data. This webinar will feature several examples of samplers from the R. Stanton Avery Special Collections. You will hear the stories behind these items and the families who donated them. We will also discuss some tips and best practices for preserving such items in your own collection.

ERRATA: Please note there are about 100 total samplers in the Campanelli collection, not 400 as stated in the presentation.
