Reference Lists, Indexes, and Further Reading
Each article ends with a reading list of the catalogues, monographs, and exhibition publications it draws on, so a reader can continue from a summary to the primary material. The site also keeps indexes of designers, textiles, and techniques, and notes on where surviving garments are held.

How the Page Is Organized
01
Start From a Reference
Reading lists and indexes are the fastest route into the material: begin from a reference and work outward, or begin from a subject and follow it across periods.
02
Follow the Citations
Sources are given in the text, so a claim can be checked at the point where it is made rather than only at the end of the article.
03
Use the Indexes
Indexes of designers, textiles, and techniques cross-reference articles on the same subject from different periods.
04
Compare Period to Period
Many subjects are traced across several articles, which makes it possible to see what changed and what did not.
05
Check the Collection Records
Where a garment survives, the holding institution is named so the object itself can be consulted.
06
Keep Up to Date
New articles are added as catalogues and newly available research appear, and the reading lists and indexes are updated accordingly.
Common questions about sourcing and how to cite this material are answered in the comments on each article.
