Welcome!
This ongoing project is an effort to scan craft pattern publications that are in the public domain,
to preserve them, so we can keep our craft heritages in our hands. Most of these scans have been graphically
edited to make the images easier for craft workers to see, and to reduce file sizes. They are available,
for free, to anyone who wants them, for educational, personal, artistic and other creative uses.

Royal coat of arms before Victoria
Seiffert & Co vorm. A. Nicolai in Berlin 1728
Seiffert & Co
|
Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, with the little shield in the middle bearing the arms of Hanover with a crown, and therefore this is the version used between 1816 and 1837 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom). Of course the pattern can be of a later date.

Cataloguers needed!
We badly need trained librarians or scholars in humanities, to help make our catalog useful and conforming to standards, and teach other volunteers how to do this.
If you have some training in cataloguing, we'd be very glad for your help. As many or as few hours you would be willing to spend on it, it all would help.
Contact Judith or Sytske via the Yahoo group, or send a mail to the info address above. Thank you!
