Sources

As with any good research, it is important to be able to provide the sources on which you based your writing. Below I have cited the resources that I have used compiling and researching the material for this project, in the hopes that I am providing the most historically and culturally accurate information possible. Annotations on sources are found throughout the information pages and can be referenced here.

(If there are any inaccuracies in the work that I have done or the information I have provided, I encourage friendly and honest contributions to the improvement of this project. Please email me at info@theribbonskirtproject.ca
