Hi Nancy,I know that IOLI has a study lace collection called the Koon Collection that is available for charter guilds to borrow for study by members.  You could contact IOLI to see if they would be willing to add the Neff Collection to their laces if you leave it to them in your will.  I do remember when I was on the board that the collection did go out a number of times, complete with white gloves, but have no idea how often it is borrowed now.Janice <f you agree with putting the better pieces in a museum, what museum do yourecommend? Is there any way to keep a study collection (not spectacular specimens but examples that show something of a type of lace or type of construction etc.) "in the public domain."?> Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, www.jblace.comÂ
