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 successors, Negley B. Harte (Director from 1983 to 1997) and Mary B. Rose (Director from 1997 to 2006). The Fund is currently directed by Pat Hudson from the Cardiff School of History and Archaeology, Cardiff University. She is assisted by Ms Marina Peters. The Fund’s field of interest covers the history of textiles very broadly defined – embracing the economic, social and cultural history of textiles, their technological development, design and conservation, as well as the history of dress, and other uses of textiles from prehistory to the present. The Pasold Research Fund is a registered charity (no.234298). The Pasold Research Fund Ltd. is a company limited by guarantee. Registered Company No. 796266.
