Heritage Collection

Our heritage collection conserves important pieces of needlework, including pieces by early Canberran and Australian embroiderers. It is an important research archive for members as it includes examples of a wide range of embroidery techniques including ones that are at risk of being lost because they are no longer practiced. The collection includes a range of ethnic and international embroidery styles.

Our collection is not on display or open to the public. Private viewing can be arranged by appointment, but we are progressively digitising the collection so it can be viewed online through The Collecting Bug and is also available on Trove.
