## Resource

An extraordinary archive of nearly eight hundred historic tartan samples, dating back over two hundred years, has been gifted to the nation. This massive collection, created by J&D Paton, a major tartan manufacturer, was donated by Stuart Paton. The archive includes fabrics for Queen Victoria, military materials, womens fashion, and previously undocumented clan designs. This collection, covering the firms history from the eighteen twenties to the nineteen sixties, could revolutionize our understanding of tartan. The National Museums Scotland will catalog and make these items available for research, hoping to uncover the stories woven into these patterns and rewrite the history of tartan production. The museum is also reaching out to descendants of J&D Paton employees to share memories and items, connecting the past with the present.
