Crowdsourcing Resources
We aim to provide resources for learning about the history of indigo, growing, processing, and dying with varieties of indigo worldwide.
We know we can't keep track of all the incredible renaissance of indigo, so we have created a crowd-sourced Google spreadsheet!
​
We invite you to use this Google Spreadsheet to add indigo resources, including you/your organization's name, location, contact information, website/social media, and interest or offers.
Please share this link with anyone who might be interested. Thank you for sharing! If you are interested in helping us manage this resource, please contact us!
