Welcome

The Association for the History of Glass is an educational charity whose aims are to advance knowledge, education and interest in the study of glass of all periods of history throughout the world.
Our members' interests include archaeology, art history, conservation, museum studies, glass collection and glass science.
We publish a biannual newsletter Glass News and organise Study Days each Spring and Autumn, usually in London.

We are delighted to announce that we have been able to re-schedule our meeting, 'Glass in the North' for the spring of 2021. This exciting two-day event, based at Vindolanda and Newcastle/Sunderland, is being held in honour of Jennifer Price and her work on the glass of northern Britain. As soon as we can provide firm dates for the meeting we will inform our members and update you here. We are also re-scheduling our joint meeting with the Early Glass Technology Research Network for this autumn. We anticipate that this will be a 'virtual' meeting, with speakers and audience coming together via the internet, and we will send out details of dates and how to participate soon. The board of the AHG sends all best wishes to our members and followers as well as thanks for your continuing support.
