Article tracing the history of the Society of Arts and Crafts of Boston, the oldest American craft cooperative, from its founding after the 1897 Copley Hall exhibition through 1950. It covers the jury system, craftsman/master/medalist ranks (including weaving requirements for master craftsman), major exhibitions, the Newbury Street salesroom, and director Humphrey Emery's comments on trends in handweaving and the craftsman's role. Photographs show handwoven linens, scarfs and ties, silver, and showrooms; page 1 carries captions for two drapery fabrics, and the last page has a short note on the Contemporary Hand Weavers of Texas.
