The retention of the librarian position at the American Craft Council to continue reference services and digitization for a collection documenting the history of the studio craft movement in the U.S., including files for nearly 4,000 craft artists.
Craft builds bridges that can strengthen and reinforce our humanity as we move together toward our future and the American Craft Council, in turn, amplifies the public voice of craft. The American Craft Council’s Library & Archives serve a vital function for the organization, the field of craft, and the public, documenting the history of studio craft and the legacy of craft artists in America. Project funding will ensure uninterrupted access for researchers, students, publishers, curators, artists, collectors and craft enthusiasts who use the resources of the library and Legacy archives for work, study and recreation.
