What happens if someone contacts the Quilt Index about using an image of a quilt from my project/collection?

If the QI receives an inquiry about using an image of your quilt we will forward the request to you. It is up to you to decide if you would like to grant permission and if you will charge a fee. For examples of fees associated with image use, see http://museum.msu.edu/s%2Dprogram/mtap/Collections/FeeStructure.pdf.

What happens if someone suggests an edit to one of my quilt records?

The Quilt Index contributors manage and control their own data records. If the Quilt Index receives a suggestion to change a record, we will forward the suggestion to you. If you decide it is an appropriate change, you can then edit the record. The KORA training manual (link) includes instructions on how to edit your records.

Can I add additional quilts to the Quilt Index?

Yes. The KORA training manual includes instructions on how to add new records.

Can I add information or make changes to one of my quilt records?
