The Standards and Guidelines for the Preservation of Historic Stained Glass Windows

Any document that deals with preservation ideology, or methods of conservation of cultural property, assumes a certain knowledgeability on the reader’s part, regarding historic, artistic, or social significance.

In truth, most papers on this general subject are loathe to try to define what is historically significant. What makes a stained glass window worth preserving? When is a window culturally valuable? How does a property steward decide what is worth a full-scale restoration and what is not? Does every stained glass window ever made justify heroic efforts in preservation?

In fact, the answer to this last question is a simple no. There are many beautiful, well-fabricated stained glass windows that do not warrant the expensive, documented, and time-consuming treatment outlined in this book.

Just how it is decided which ones do, or do not, merit this consideration remains a somewhat ambiguous process. What we DO consider the most important facet of this process is an open, frank, and honest discussion between the property owner and the professional stained glass practitioner. And where available, we encourage the participation of a local historian.

Upon the determination of qualifying historical significance, and a decision to preserve the property, we recommend the unfailing adherence to the standards and guidelines set forth herein.

SGAA Recommendations for Safety in the Stained Glass Studio

The SGAA Recommendations for Safety in the Stained Glass Studio was produced by the Health & Safety Committee of the Stained Glass Association of America and is designed to fill a gap in the available stained glass literature by providing a concise source for recommendations on safely dealing with the unique safety needs of the stained glass studio.

Though this book is designed primarily for the professional architectural stained glass studio, there is also a section on safety in the home studio.

This book deals with safety-mindedness, employee education and OSHA; safety basics, lead intoxication, symptoms and treatments; lead exposure and protection; safety on the jobsite; sandblasting safety; the dangers of acid and environmental protection — including TRI reporting.

D. Maitland Armstrong: American Stained Glass Master

The first monograph published on this major American stained glass artist outlines his life and artistic accomplishments, as well as that of his daughter and business partner, Helen M. Armstrong. Their glass art was considered among America’s finest during the Gilded Age and early 20th century.

Important installations included the Appellate Court Building in New York, Vanderbilt’s All Souls Church in Asheville, and The Church of the Ascension in New York. Other installations large and small exhibited the same distinguished artistry and high craftsmanship. Armstrong’s personal friends included notable artists John La Farge, Charles McKim, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Louis Tiffany, Stanford White, and George Maynard, and Armstrong’s story mirrors the changing cultural landscape of the United States in the 19th century.

Extensively illustrated, and researched from private family papers, the book provides a new look at the people, collaborative efforts, and artistic master-works of the American Renaissance.

The SGAA Lead Safety DVD

The Stained Glass Association of America, in cooperation with the Lead Industries Association (LIA) has produced a video for stained glass studios and hobbyists. The 12-minute program, available on DVD, focuses on how to control exposure to lead and explains preventative measures currently required by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration).

The video describes workplace protection as a three-way partnership:

• The government agency which sets the limits on permissible exposure levels.
• The employer who is responsible for informing and training the employee.
• And the worker, who must follow the company’s procedures and practice good personal hygiene.

Hobbyists working on their own will also benefit from the many procedures and safety tips demonstrated on the video.
