Turkey Red Journal Archive

Welcome to the Turkey Red Journal Archive. June 2020 was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Turkey Red Journal. When it first started in 1995, the TRJ was a simple two-page black and white newsletter published to hand out at the Nature's Dyes Conference at Fort Collins, Colorado. It grew from there to a color publication and then in 2007 went to an online publication. Pamela Feldman was the co-editor and co-publisher of the print edition from 1995 to 2006 and the sole editor and publisher of the on-line edition from 2007 to 2020. She wants to thank all of the TRJ's contributors and all the dedicated readers that made the journal such success and a joy to publish.

The last online issue of the TRJ was Volume 24, Issue 1 (Spring 2020), published in June of 2020. The turkeyredjournal.com and turkeyredjournal.org websites were maintained online for about a year after that until the registrations of those URLs were allowed to lapse. Any content currently hosted at those URLs is unrelated to the Turkey Red Journal and Pamela Feldman has no authorship of and assumes no responsibility for what they might contain now or in the future.
