The Picture Library consists of colour transparencies and black and white photographs of the finest embroidery from The Embroiderers' Guild Museum Collection. There are over 100 images catalogued to date and increasingly the Embroiderers' Guild is adding to the Picture Library.

The images are catalogued according to their geographic origin as follows:

British Embroideries (from C17th coifs to the C20th)

North America (Indian work and quilts)

Eastern Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece and Persia)

India (court and rural styles)

European Traditional Embroidery (C18th and C19th)

China and Japan (symbolism and status)
