The Story | iTEXTILIS

The roots of iTEXTILIS date back to the late 1980s, when The IK Foundation laid the foundation for several monumental textile inventories and research projects in northern Europe. Projects developed in the coming decades geographically, but also with the publishing of monographs and exhibitions.

Since the beginning, the projects and their development have been led by Textile historian Viveka Hansen, who, over the years, has shared this responsibility with other research-related tasks within The IK Foundation. A significant revival occurred in March 2013 when Viveka Hansen laid the foundation for a new form of a digital platform called iTEXTILIS.
The next stepping stone for iTEXTILIS was in February 2018, when it became an official division of The IK Workshop Society – a global and unique forum for all those interested in Natural & Cultural History. Like The IK Workshop Society, iTEXTILIS is a unique phenomenon, in some respects an experiment with very long-term ambitions where all work is done within the framework of a Creative Commons license.

Today, iTEXTILIS is a dynamic, advancing department within The IK Workshop Society with many connections to textile communities and natural and cultural history collections worldwide.
