Lynn A. Bonfield divides her time between Vermont and California where she has been the director of the Labor Archives & Research Cen­ter at San Francisco State University since 1985. Her research concen­trates on nineteenth-century letters and diaries of northern Vermont, emphasizing the lives of ordinary women. She has published in Ver­mont History and California History and is co-author of the book Rox­ana's Children: The Biography of a Nineteenth-Century Vermont Family.

​When AQSG added Uncoverings articles to the Quilt Index, they omitted all the illustrations, for lack of permissions. Although the articles found in the QI (1980-2010, 2012-2016) lack illustrations, they link to quilts, essays, special collections, and documentation projects across the Quilt Index, introducing them to a wider audience. The permission issues have since been resolved and in 2024, AQSG completed adding all the Uncoverings volumes from 1980-2023 to the Digital Commons@University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They are completely searchable and include all the illustrations. You can find, Uncoverings 2001, Volume 22, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/39/.
