The first thread
The very first thread of iTEXTILIS dates back to the late 1980s when The IK Foundation laid the groundwork for several significant textile inventories and research projects in northern Europe. These initiatives expanded geographically over the following decades, accompanied by the publication of monographs and exhibitions.
Since the beginning, Textile historian Viveka Hansen has led research and development, sharing this responsibility over the years with other project duties within The IK Foundation. A notable revival occurred in 2013 when she laid the first stepping stones for establishing a new digital platform called iTEXTILIS.
Part of The IK Workshop Society
The next stepping stone for iTEXTILIS was in 2018, when it became an official department of The IK Workshop Society – a global and distinctive forum for those interested in Natural & Cultural History. Like The IK Workshop Society, iTEXTILIS is a unique phenomenon, in some respects an experiment with long-term ambitions where all work is carried out within a Creative Commons license framework.
Today, iTEXTILIS is a dynamic and expanding department within The IK Workshop Society, maintaining numerous connections to textile communities and collections of natural and cultural history worldwide.
