ASIAN TEXTILES - the OATG Magazine
The Oxford Asian Textile Group (OATG) publishes its magazine, Asian Textiles, three times a year, now generally with 28-32 pages. It appears in February, June and October. The deadline for copy is the first Monday of those months. For further information or contributions contact the Editor.
Most issues feature a report on a key textile collection, Asian textile resources on-line and also report on current research and recent publications. They each include a valuable section highlighting lectures and new and ongoing exhibitions in Britain and abroad.
Each issue also gives fuller details about the latest programme of talks and visits arranged by OATG for its members.
