The sewing machine
Cooper's book provides a photographic guide to significant sewing machines
and patent models in the collections of the National Museum of American
History. Out of print for many years, it was originally digitized and made
available online in 2004.
*Introduction
by Barbara Suit Janssen*
We are delighted to announce that Grace Rogers Cooper's 1976 classic, /The
Sewing Machine: Its Invention and Development/, long out of print, is once
again accessible to researchers and the public. The Smithsonian Institution's
mission of "diffusion of knowledge" is well suited to this web publication of
a museum reference work.
