[lace] Lace (magazine) - and use of magazines for research

[Jeri Ames]

When my Post Office burned to the ground on Feb. 21, 2017, the only mail I
knew was lost were the end-of-January Lace magazine from England and a
PieceWork magazine.  Very rumpled sooty waterlogged copies were delivered to
me.  Certain magazines are so important to documentation of the present that
my guest bedroom has 20th - 21st C. publications in bookcases and boxes that
fill the room.   In this case, I went to a bookstore and replaced PieceWork,
and then phoned The Lace Guild in England to order a replacement, plus
calendars for the following year (gifts that are fun to give), and renewed
membership.  All in one call.  So fun to speak with someone in the office.
 
The bonus for lace scholars who visit here is that they sleep in the library,
surrounded by 4,000 + books that tell of the history of needlework in many
nations since the beginning of researched time.  It is a real celebration of
the talents of unknown and known women.  Guests probably have interesting
dreams.  At the least, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  The librarian
here has read all the books that are in English.  Other languages are
represented and shelved by nation instead of author name.  Research goes much
faster when you have her experience to draw on.  
 
If you are a member of IOLI, there is a photo of my research library on page
33 in the Spring 2018 bulletin you just received.  It is in the article by
Jane Atkinson, of the U.K.  What a surprise!  Jane took pictures, but I did
not know how she would use them.  There are still many IOLI members who do
not know about this library, because they are not subscribed to Arachne, so
thanks for sharing, Jane.
 
NOTE:  If you are receiving this in a round-about way because my AOL and
Gmail and the Arachne server are not compatible and if you send me your Gmail
address, I will add it to my bcc list, so you can receive posts directly from
me.  Please tell me a little about your lace connection when you write.

That's worrying Sue, we changed how we send out Overseas mags a while ago
because of problems with deliveries. Are you regularly not getting your
copy or was this a one off?

I recently received the end January edition of "Lace" - after 3 attempts 
from the Lace Guild to get it to me, so do appreciate knowing when others in 
America or Australia have received theirs

Lace is due out at the end of April, Liz. It is published four times a year, on 
the last day of July, October, January and April. This issue will be the last 
of the current membership year, so should have the renewal forms in it.

The UK Lace should be out soon, too, - shouldn???t it?  I believe the Aussie
Lace Magazine is in the pipeline, - possibly at the printers, by now.
