Marin F. Hanson, Curator of Exhibitions at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum, holds undergraduate degrees from Grinnell College and Northern Illinois University and earned an MA with a double major in Textile History (Quilt Studies empha­sis) and Museum Studies from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She co-curated the Museum's exhibitions Quilts in Common and Nancy Crow: Cloth, Culture & Context and co-authored the accompanying catalog. Hanson is the lead editor of the forthcom­ing volume, American Quilts in the Modern Age: 1870-1940, the first in a planned multi-volume catalog of the Center's entire quilt col­lection.

​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 2008, Volume 29, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/32/.
