American Textile History Museum

The American Textile History Museum (ATHM) is engaged in a multiphase program, the Chace Project, to make its collections accessible to the broadest possible audience. The museum will accession/register, catalogue, and scan 1,000 prints, 3,000 photographs, and 68 paintings over two years. The images depict textile mills, textile processes and machinery, workers, awards, fashion and design, etc., from the seventeenth century through the twentieth century. The project will improve the museum’s intellectual control of and access to the Osborne Library’s collections of prints, photographs, and paintings.
