This site evolved out of my ever-increasing list of glass-related bookmarks/favourites so I decided to make the list available to others who may be interested in glass. There are many thousands of websites covering glass - this site does not claim to be a comprehensive list but may point you towards some you've not found before, or serve as a handy index of sites you do know about. If you have, or know of, sites you'd like adding please let me know the details via the Forum and I'll add them to the proper category/ies.

 Much to the dismay of glass enthusiasts everywhere, the UK's only dedicated glass museum is threatened with closure. Dudley council has announced proposals to close the Broadfield House Glass Museum in Dudley, West Midlands and move the collection to a very much smaller site, which will be to the disadvantage of the collection and its visitors.

The above sites offer one of the best subscription deals for glass information. Digitising many out-of-print publications which are then searchable, giving easy access to books and magazines and catalogues which otherwise are simply not available, or take serious travel to find, these sites are worth supporting. For a summary of the sites' contents please read the topic on the Glass Message Board here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,16602.0.html
