AUSTIN DOLL COLLECTORS SOCIETY

The Austin Doll Collectors Society is an organization of antique, vintage, and modern doll collectors, dealers, and artisans. We meet on the second Sunday of each month and our meetings are fun and educational. We begin with refreshments and socializing, and, following our brief business meeting, there is a special doll-related program and "show and tell." The Austin Doll Collectors Society is a nonprofit organization and is a member of the United Federation of Doll Clubs.

  1. I am so interested in the history of the “Japanese Friendship Dolls”. It was so significant in the history between Japan and the US. I can imagine how happy the Japanese children were to receive precious gifts that time. I’d also like to know about the progress of the search for the 13 missing dolls.
