The Massachusetts Quilt Documentation Project is an ongoing effort to document and preserve the rich history of quilting in Massachusetts. The project is headquartered in Lowell, MA, and is run by a team of dedicated volunteers who work to collect, catalog, and preserve quilts from across the state.

The project began in 1993, and since then, it has documented over 11,000 quilts from Massachusetts. The team uses a standardized form to collect information about each quilt, including its history, construction, and materials. They also take photographs of each quilt and store them in a digital database.

The project serves a dual purpose: it helps to preserve the history of quilting in Massachusetts while also providing a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and other interested parties. The database is searchable by a variety of criteria, including date, location, and style, making it easy to find information about specific quilts or to study broader trends in the history of quilting.

In addition to its work documenting quilts, the Massachusetts Quilt Documentation Project also organizes exhibitions, lectures, and workshops to promote the art and craft of quilting. Its goal is to ensure that the rich history of quilting in Massachusetts is not forgotten, and that this important cultural tradition is passed down to future generations.
