- Bead History Resources -

Beads have fascinated people for thousands of years, and not surprisingly, there are a number of interesting websites on the history of beads:

• Early Trade Beads from Mali. Fascinating photos, though the site still is incomplete.
• The Bead Museum in Washington, DC. Haven't visited it yet, but it looks fascinating.
• Trade Bead Collection at the Illinois State Museum
• Native American beadwork
• Beadmaking in Venice
  

Happy surfing!
