By: Fitzgerald, Mary Reecy
Mary Reecy Fitzgerald earned B.S. and M.E. degrees (Home Economics and Education) from South Dakota State University, and an M.A. in Textile History/Quilt Studies from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She taught for seventeen years for the Bureau of Indian Affairs before moving into Administration positions. She is a past president of the Dell Rapids Historical Society. Mary cocurated the exhibition, Quilts of the Homestead Era, at the Homestead National Monument through the International Quilt Study Center and assembled a traveling trunk show for schools, Fabrics of War, through the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum. Her research centers on South Dakota quilts from the pre-territory era through 1970.
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 2009, Volume 30, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/31/.
