MORE INFORMATION
RESEARCHERS
Information for the REGISTRY can only be gathered by visiting each site
individually, filling out the forms, and photographing the windows. It
is not necessary to spend time in archival research in order to obtain
the data needed for the REGISTRY. In the past when funding was available,
art history graduate students at York University have been employed for
this undertaking. The REGISTRY now relies more heavily on the cooperation
and generosity of volunteer participants. A limited number of sets of
sample forms will be sent to volunteer researchers, with the expectation
that these would be themselves copied, as and when needed, by these individuals.
Likewise, the costs of the production of slides will have to be borne
by the individual researchers until such time as future grants might make
it possible to reimburse people for this expense. The name of the researcher
who gathered the data and forwarded it to the databank will always be
acknowledged. Interested people are encouraged to volunteer to document
as few or as many new building sites as they have time for. Training sessions
will be organized for groups such as Historical Society volunteers who
might wish to become involved with documenting windows in their area.
Interested parties should contact the Director at the address below.

DATABASE
Future plans are to mount the collected information in a database at this
site. Text information will be mounted first, with representative visual
material added later.
