The Clothworkers’ Company

The online catalogue is an extensive database of documented items in ULITA’s collections, containing digital images along with descriptions and reference numbers for identification.

The ULITA catalogue was established with the generous support of The Clothworkers’ Company, and is continually being added to as items are documented.
