Since its incorporation in 1903, MJSA (Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America) has followed the same essential mission: to provide the information and support needed by jewelry makers, designers, and related suppliers to achieve professional excellence. Members range from high-volume manufacturers to artisans and custom jewelers; from single-person trade shops to global suppliers of tools and equipment.
In 2004, the Society of North American Goldsmiths donated an extensive slide archive to the Metal Museum, the only institution in the U.S. devoted exclusively to the advancement of the art and craft of fine metalwork. It contains the portfolios of over 330 metalsmiths of national and international significance. The Metal Museum is pleased to partner with the American Craft Council Library to make this collection available online.
