Inventories and Catalogues of the Needlework Development Scheme collection

By the time the Needlework in Scotland scheme was disbanded due to the war in 1939, the scheme had amassed a collection of some 900 items. In 1945, when the scheme was resurrected at the Needlework Development Scheme it continued to acquire textiles having over 5000 pieces by 1961 when the scheme was finally dissolved. Many of these were available as loan collections to schools and colleges.
