WWW Links

700 AD - 1989: Chronology of Textiles and Fiber Art in New Mexico

Aside from the chronology, there are links to weaving studios, related web sites, and dealers of weavings in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. This site is part of the much larger online venture, Wingspread.

Indian Pueblo Cultural Center

Links to all the New Mexico pueblos as well as other information. Lots of excellent information. An essential resource for those who seek information about the Pueblo Indians.

Maxwell Museum Online

This site is kind of a bare bones database, with thumbnail images, which can be enlarged by clicking on them. Having said that, the site and its contents are wonderfully interesting and leave the viewer wanting more. The site is an example of the triumph of content over presentation. Highly recommended.
