About The Pasold Research Fund
The Pasold Research Fund was founded in 1964 by Eric Pasold O.B.E. through the donation of shares in his family business, Pasolds Ltd.
The Pasold Fund promotes and supports research on textile history; embracing the economic, social and cultural history of textiles, their technological development, design and conservation, as well as the history of dress, and other uses of textiles from prehistory to the present.
It does this by giving financial assistance to researchers, by organising and supporting conferences and workshops and by publishing a monograph series and a major journal, Textile History.
