lmost every aspect of working with architectural stained glass in this traditional
community brings us into contact with some historical component of the windows, the structure,
the clients or the events that had transpired at this location over the passage of time.
Questions of origin arise. Attribution is often difficult to ascertain. Discovering the pertinent
truths that apply to each encounter or project can become very complicated and sometimes no
revealing information can be found at all. Fortunately, there are many local people and agencies
that are capable of determining historic fact and weaving historic fabric. Establishing historic
archives has become an integral element of Liturgical Restoration Programs and Conservation and
Restoration of Public Buildings. Many residential homeowners are interested in knowing more about
the history of their home and the original craftsmen who produced the fine decorative architectural
elements original to the structure.
e at Kelly Art Glass can offer the services of our studio in several ways. We can
refer our clients to persons that have expertise in the specific subject matter, We can include
some historic background in our own documentation of the project. Establishment and preparation
of historical archives and catalogs for Liturgical properties is a major task, often required to
establish insurance values and restoration schedules. Arrangements can be made to discuss this type
of research and documentation by contacting the studio.
