Thanks for your comments.
I fir...Hi DBG and Cindi! Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />I first heard of UFDC back in the 1980s when I followed doll magazines like <i>Doll World</i>, but the UFDC seemed to focus on antique and/or artist's dolls. I have looked at those types of dolls in passing, but my passion has been for playscale figures. I am glad to read, DBG, that they have gotten better at including African American dolls in their study. I can see how that group would be beneficial to you since your collecting covers a broader range of dolls than mine ;-)<br /><br />Since I remain playscale focused, I assume that UFDC will not have much available for me. <br /><br />(So that is something to consider, Cindi, when researching UFDC. They do not have much for playscale/sixth scale collectors.)D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-83528540553587512692013-01-16T23:08:29.737-05:002013-01-16T23:08:29.737-05:00I'm not,and I didn't know this organizatio...I'm not,and I didn't know this organization existed.

Unfortunately, there has not always been a huge focus on African American dolls, but the organization has gotten better in recent years.<br /><br />One of my doll articles has been published in the UFDC quarterly publication Doll News and my first book was reviewed in an issue of Doll News. I have also advertised my books in their publication.<br /><br />Being a member has been beneficial for me.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.com
