Historical Research

 

A 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.

W 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.
