WHY ARE WE HERE?
Our purpose is to inspire understanding of the social, cultural, and artistic significance of African-American quilts. Our goal is to document, research, and preserve African-American quilt history through data collection and collaboration with local, state, and national societies, museums and universities.
African American Quilt Documentation Study Group
We are dedicated to conserving African-American quilting history by preserving and maintaining quilt documentation, showcasing the profiles of African-American quilt artists, and providing support for researchers. By documenting a quilt, you are documenting your family history for future generations.
