July's "Lace" arrived today, and obviously I most
enjoyed the picture of ME holding (someone else's, I'm
afraid) knitted table cloth.
Fortunately, there are other things for those who
prefer the aesthetically pleasing!
In addition, the Chairman's letter does give the Lace
Guild's general policy on donations, which is made
clear to potential donors before anything is accepted.
If books are duplicates of common books already held,
or similar, then they may be sold, the proceeds going
to fund new purchases. The books available are of
course listed on the Guild's website. This gives the
lace world a double benefit - the books do go to a
lacemaker who wants them, and the Guild can acquire
other books and make them available to members to
borrow. Lace for the collection is accepted on
similar terms, with the same effect. Once in the
Guild's collection it is protected by the UK's laws
governing museums - the Guild has museum status - and
these seem to be far more strict and effective than
the US's (one reason why more care is needed in
deciding what to take into the collection).
