The Pasold Research Fund was established in 1964 by Eric W. Pasold OBE, whose special interest was the history of knitting. Its work was developed and extended by Kenneth G. Ponting as Research Director from 1967 to 1983, and by his successor Negley B. Harte who was Director from 1983 to 1997. The Fund’s field of interest now covers the study of the history of textiles in all their aspects – embracing the economic and social history of textiles, their technological development, design and conservation, as well as the history of dress, and other uses of textiles. The activities of the Fund fall into three main categories: sponsoring publications, organizing conferences, and awarding grants for research. The Pasold Research Fund is a registered charity (no.234298). Visit the Fund's website at www.pasold.co.uk
