The Michigan Heritage Basket Collection
The Association of Michigan Basketmakers (AMB) has created a growing collection of baskets
and related documentation at the MSU Museum that is intended to preserve the heritage of basketmaking
in Michigan. The collection consists of 56 baskets reflecting many styles and techniques and represents
the work of the honorees chosen from nominations put forward to the AMB by its members.
With support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, the AMB is also in the process
of documenting the work of the honorees through still and video photography and taped interviews. These
materials, along with records of AMB, form a collection that is a solid resource for education,
exhibition, and research for those interested in basketry, Michigan, and the formation of grassroots
organizations such as the AMB.
Donors:
The Association of Michigan Basketmakers.
