TSA has four regular publications: the Proceedings
of the biennial symposia, an annual textile bibliography, produced
in conjunction with the Textile Museum in Washington D.C., a newsletter
that is published three times a year, and an annual membership directory.
TSA also gives an annual award for the best publication of the year
in the area of ethnic textile studies (R.
L. Shep Award).
Copies of Proceedings, Bibliography, and
Newsletters still in print are available for purchase. Contact

R.
L. Shep Book Award
The Textile Society of America is pleased to announce the establishment
of the R. L. Shep Book Award, a $750 prize which the Society will
give annually to the publication judged the best book of the year
in the area of ethnic textile studies. The first award was made
in 2001 for a work published in 2000.
Nominations are open to English language books
(including bi- or multilingual publications in which all essential
information appears in English). For the purpose of the award, "ethnic"
textiles are defined as the nonindustrial textiles of Asia, Africa,
Oceania, and Native and Latin America, as well as those of identifiable
cultural groups in Europe and North America. Books of a variety
of formats, including monographs, anthologies and exhibition catalogs
may be nominated. The main criteria for the prize-winning book are
high quality research and scholarship, presented in an accessible,
engaging manner.
Nominations and review copies of the books
must be provided to the Award Committee by March 1 of any given
year, and the award will be made the following fall. The committee
consists of three individuals appointed by the TSA Board, and
will
have a rotating membership. The Board has selected the following
individuals for the first Award Committee: Roy Hamilton (Chair),
Suzanne Baizerman and Lotus Stack. Further information and detailed
guidelines will be posted shortly on this website and will be
available from the TSA office, P.O. Box 193, Middletown, DE 19709.
