Glass Collectors Digest Index, 1987-2001 on DVD

Description: Glass Collectors Digest Index: 1987-2001. This is a PDF version of our Monograph No. 85 in the glass study series of the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia, Ltd., available on CD. The Glass Collectors Digest was one of the most influential and valuable periodical resources available to glass collectors over its fifteen year run. For those fortunate enough to have copies of this magazine or access to it through a library, it has been a never-ending fount of information not available elsewhere -- but has also been a difficult resource to fully utilize due to the lack of a comprehensive index. Using this index, researchers will now be able to locate and access every article, every photograph, and even all of the advertisements appearing in the journal. The authors represented are a who's who of the glass community, including Bill & Louise Boggess, Neila & Tom Bredehoft, Frank Chiarenza, Eason Eige, Tom Felt, Frank M. Fenton, Jerry Gallagher, William Heacock, Marg Iwen, Lorraine Kovar, Milbra A. Long, James S. Measell, Betty Newbound, D. Thomas O'Connor, Leslie Pina, Albert Christian Revi, Dean Six, Glen & Stephen Thistlewood, Robert Truitt, William P. Walker, Roserita Ziegler, and hundreds of others. The range of topics covered is equally astounding. This huge index is your chance to make full use of this remarkable resource. Even if you don't have access to the original magazines, many libraries (including the one at MAG in WV) can make copies of desired articles at a reasonable cost. This PDF version is makes it even easier to find the information you are looking for by using word search. Compiled by Shirley Smith. This CD contains 110 pages in PDF format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader (available as a free download from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html). Domestic postage is $3.50 for the first publication, $1.00 for each additional publication. For overseas shipping costs, please contact the seller. This CD is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born. The WVMAG monographs address glass topics that yet lack the wide interest to make publishing a book commercially successful or that we do not yet know enough to commit to the more permanent form of a book. WVMAG's photocopied monographs are endeavors in seed planting by providing information on topics that may not have been previously readily available that other researchers can draw upon in formulating their own work.

(WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
