The Standards and Guidelines for the Preservation of Historic Stained
Glass, Second Edition
|
 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.

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.
