All,

A friend sent this to me. Please spread the word.

The Design Studies Department at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison is seeking a curator for the Helen
Louise Allen Textile Collection, who will take
leadership in managing all phases of collection
operations in addition to facilitating the integration
of this outstanding textile collection within the
intellectual and cultural life of the campus and
community. As one of the largest university-based
collections in the United States, the HLATC includes
approximately 12,000 artifacts, with particular
strength in ethnographic textiles, and a commitment to
developing the collection of twentieth and
twenty-first-century textiles. The size and scope of
the collection, along with the related Ruth Ketterer
Harris textile library, constitute a major resource
for textile students and scholars. We take particular
pride in the fact the collection is strongly
integrated into the teaching mission of the
university. Classes and individual students are
allowed access to collection holdings on a regular
basis. In the near future, the collection will be
moving into a new facility, affording the curator an
opportunity to play a major role in conceptualizing
the physical aspects of collection storage and
operations. Within the next year a new textile study
center will be created, drawing on the department's
considerable strengths in textile history, textile
science, and textile art/design, and a growing base of
community volunteers.
