Catalogue of a 1961 exhibition of Peruvian Spanish-Colonial textiles at The Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., written by director Alan R. Sawyer. It lists 38 items with short descriptions, dimensions and accession or lender information. These include Inca-style shirts and mantles, interlocking tapestry hangings, rugs, ponchos and painted church cloths, plus Mexican and Guatemalan pieces, a Spanish design prototype rug, silver and a painting. An introduction covers provenience, tapestry technique and materials (cotton and alpaca warps, cochineal and indigo dyes, silver thread). Six black-and-white figures illustrate selected pieces.

A collection of the Textile Museum's Workshop Notes papers (Nos. 1-11, c. 1950-1955) on conservation and technical analysis of textiles and rugs. Topics include step-by-step cleaning and mounting of wool textiles, cleaning cotton textiles with dye-fastness tests, rug repair, display and storage, and preservation of dated tiraz fabrics. Analysis papers cover early weaves and techniques in Egypt and the Near East (tapestry, rep, gauze, tabby, twill, drawloom binding), the museum's rug analysis method and charts, a late Roman tapestry from Egypt, patterned knitted stockings found in Egypt, and a proposed terminology for ancient and primitive fabrics. Illustrated with workshop photographs, analysis cards, structural diagrams and drafts-style notation.
