From Uncoverings 2002, Volume 23 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Melissa Jurenga is completing her Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska­Lincoln with an emphasis on historic textiles. She is a graduate re­search fellow of the International Quilt Study Center. Her background in history, education, and museum studies is regularly used in her re­search on quilts and quiltmakers associated with the James 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 2002, Volume 23, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/38/.
