Call for Papers - Uncoverings 2011
Volume 32 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
For presentation at our thirty-first annual seminar and for publication in our thirty-first annual volume of quilt research, Uncoverings 2011, American Quilt Study Group seeks original, unpublished research pertaining to the history of quilts, quiltmakers, quiltmaking, associated textiles, and related subjects.
Since 1980, Uncoverings has been the foremost authority in quilt research. This interdisciplinary volume represents AQSG's mission: to build an accurate, well-respected body of quilt-related research. Uncoverings is the foundation of most quilt research being published today. Be a part of this unique, highly respected publication.
Papers should be 4,500-9,000 words in length. If your paper is selected, you will be invited to make a presentation of your research at the 2011 AQSG Seminar which will be hosted by AQSG supporters in New Jersey. This is a unique opportunity to share your work with others who are passionate about quilts and to participate in a weekend conference devoted to the study of quilt history which includes study centers, workshops, keynote and research presentations, and pre-conference offerings.
