The Archives at American Ancestors collects the material culture and written history of families across the country. For young women of the past, the creation of samplers were an important exercise and expression of skill; for those in the present, these samplers can provide important family data. This webinar will feature several examples of samplers from the R. Stanton Avery Special Collections. You will hear the stories behind these items and the families who donated them. We will also discuss some tips and best practices for preserving such items in your own collection.
ERRATA: Please note there are about 100 total samplers in the Campanelli collection, not 400 as stated in the presentation.

This was really interesting. I am both a textile and family history enthusiast, so this presentation was informative and enlightening. I appreciate so much that these samplers are sometimes the sole record of a woman's life outside of the documentation indicating she was someone's daughter or wife.

This was an interesting talk. Thank you. I am in possession of a family heirloom sampler from 1810 and the preservation techniques suggested were incorporated before I received it in the 1980s. I hope it continues to be in as good condition as the samplers show here.
