Loom Types
The pilot project about old Danish looms in museum collections is now finished and from the 50 registered looms we have defined 11 loom types. This database gives you an overview of typology of the different loom types.
Each type is presenting you with more information on the given loom type including characteristics, images and measurements. The making of the typology is still ongoing and will be updated over the next months.
A guide to the functionalities of the database
Downloading the data
It is possible to download the data by clicking the "Download CSV" text, located in the bottom right corner of the database table. CSV stands for comma-separated values and is the type of data you open in programs like Microsoft Excel. Download the CSV file and open it in Microsoft Excel, easy as that.
Viewing the table in full screen
The table can be viewed in full-screen mode by clicking on the "View larger version" in the bottom right-hand corner. The table will open in a new window unless you have a personal setup on your computer, where you have requested a specific, other functionality.
Sorting the data
You can sort the data by clicking on "Sort" in the top bar of the table. When you click on the "Sort" button you will be allowed to "pick a field to sort by", you will afterward be allowed to enter more parameters if you wish to do so. Pick a field from the dropdown and click on either "first-last" or "last-first". As mentioned a secondary sorting parameter can be entered.
