Having spent the last few weeks finishing off my Battle of
Britain panels I’m having a change and spending next week doing some archive
research. I’m going to Nottingham to study some of the archives relating to
lace curtain manufacture held at the University of Nottingham and also hoping
to spend some time in the lace archive at Nottingham Trent University looking
at samples of lace curtain patterns and design. I’ve been searching online to
see what the various archives hold but it’s difficult to know exactly what to
order- some things seem promising but turn out not to be useful, while others
turn out to be hidden gems. I’ve ordered a selection of material and hope it
will be useful, or at least lead me on to things that are! I’m also going to the
Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture in London to see some of their net
curtain designs as well, so it will be a busy week.
