EGA Collection

To further its mission of education about and preservation of the heritage of embroidery, EGA established a permanent collection of textiles and related articles in the early days of the organization. The goal of the collection is to represent as many techniques, cultures, and historical eras as possible. Pieces from the collection are frequently used for exhibition, reproduction, and scholarly study. In-kind donations of embroidery accompanied by monetary donations to cover initial costs of care, appraisal, storage, and display are accepted on a regular basis. Please contact Brad Cape, Curator and Collection Committee Chair, with any questions regarding the collection or a potential donation.
