This is an archive of world textiles and related objects from diverse cultures including European, Egyptian, Indonesian, Japanese, West African, Indian and Chinese sources.

It is widely utilised by researchers, scholars and the general public.
2 Jonathan Silver was an entrepreneur from Bradford, West Yorkshire, who had a successful chain of menswear stores, including Salts Clothing Company, established in 1993, which produced men’s shirts, tailored woollen suits, silk/linen jackets and cotton shirts and trousers, and the YFA has several examples of clothing from this brand. Jonathan Silver was involved in the redevelopment of Dean Clough Mills in Halifax, then bought and restored the old woollen mill - Salts Mill in Saltaire. The mill has a lasting connection with Bradford-born artist David Hockney due to a permanent exhibition of his work on the ground floor and has a variety of shops, food and drink establishments and exhibition space.
