PURPOSE
The purpose of the State Quilt Documentation and Regional Quilt History Bibliography is to organize published works on state quilt documentation projects and regional quilt history.  Shelly Zegart's work "The Quilt Projects: 15 Years Later", provides a good background on state quilt documentation projects.   Works included in the bibliography should have a local, state, or regional identification and may be topical in nature as long as the geographic identification is specific and clearly presented in the work.  In general, juvenile works and pattern books are not included. Whenever possible, citations are constructed with item in hand and verified using national bibliographic resources as appropriate.  To facilitate purchase and acquisition of materials, information on ordering and availability is provided when available.

ORGANIZATION
The bibliography is categorized by publication type, each category organized by state and then by author or editor. Author and title indices complement the bibliography.

CATEGORIES

• State Quilt Documentation Projects: Published Books
  Offical reports of US state quilt documentation projects published in book form.
