THE LACEMAKERS OF CALAIS

The Lacemakers of Calais (ISBN 0731694481, 134 pages) edited by Gillian Kelly was published in 1990 and is now out of print. Copies are occasionally available through on-line book sellers such as Abe Books. This book discussed who the lacemakers were, the history surrounding their decision to emigrate to Australia, the Memorialists, the emigrant ships and their voyages to a new land. It contained a brief article on lacemaking in Australia; passenger lists for the Agincourt, Fairlie and Harpley, a bibliography and an index. It also contained stories about many of the lacemaker families. Most of these were written by members of the Society at the time of publication. Stories were submitted on the following.
