Asian Textiles, OATG Newsletter

The Oxford Asian Textile Group (OATG) publishes its newsletter, Asian Textiles, three times a year, now generally with 28-32 pages. These appear in February, June and October with a deadline on the first Monday of those months. For further information or contributions contact the Editor.
