What appears to have potential to be an excellent resource by the Stained Glass Museum at Ely in the UK. At time of writing they appear to be only covering their own collection but perhaps, in time, they will broaden the reach of their coverage by photographic means as opposed to solely by acquisition.

Gabreal Franklin is a much-travelled and highly accomplished film and media producer who in a former life not only acquired a collection of fine examples of stained glass, including works by Tiffany, Morris and Kempe, but also amassed a huge collection of photographs which he himself took of works all across Europe. Until very recently both the actual windows that he owns and the collection of photographs have been in storage but he has begun to set events in motion which will make them accessible to a wider audience. This link will take you to some web pages which he created which describe the collection.

Plinia.net

Dr Michelli's elegant, authoritative and informative site which combines art history with a history of stained glass. Well worth a visit.

A very nice website which contains a lot of information, illustrations and links to other work on 19th and early 20th century schools of art. Excellentresource for Pre-Raphaelite school work and references.

A hugely informative site for anyone who is interested in Cumbria and the English Lake District compiled as a 'labour of love' by Julian Thurgood. Amongst other things the site contains very useful information about many churches in Cumbria as well as containing brief biographical information on Morris, Burne-Jones, Philip Webb, Henry Holiday and others and is richly-illustrated throughout.

Some web-pages containing coverage of an exhibition in New York in 1998/99 which includes the photographic illustrations.

Official website of The Church of the Incarnation on Madison Avenue in New York. Features a virtual tour of the building.

The website of the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow.

The official website of the US branch of the William Morris Society. Very good source for links to otherMorris-related sites.

An absolute goldmine of useful stuff for photographers. In my opinion this has been one of the best free resources on the internet. Most of my early stained glass pictures first saw the light of day on photo.net.

Photo.Net

P. Neil Ralley

This is a link to some work which includes pictures we have not yet had the opportunity to upload to the site. Each of the subject folders contains thumbnails and by clicking on them a 'medium size' version can be loaded and then from that screen there is an option to load a 'large' version. There is some duplication with pictures on this site but at least 80 of the pictures on Photo.net have not yet been posted here.

Arthur Rope's excellent catalogue and history of Margaret Agnes and Margaret Edith Rope which is richly illustrated with many pictures of their work.

Frank Greenagel's excellent resource which contains an extensive and growing database of 18th and 19th century places of worship throughout New Jersey.

To quote their own words: "The mission of the Charles J. Connick Stained Glass Foundation, Ltd. is to promote the true
understanding of the glorious medium of color and light and to preserve and perpetuate the Connick tradition of stained glass."

Dswark.org

This is a wonderful article which extols the virtues of creating a good photographic record of stained glass. However, one cannot help but feel that in a great many cases the task requires a little more than "...camera, a good film, steady hands and a strong step ladder" Frankly the idea of clerics trying to balance themselves atop tall step ladders while attempting to hold the camera steady for what may need to be several seconds is troubling to say the very least.

Tony Howell is a highly accomplished UK photographer. He describes his work as 'The Art of Landscape and Flower Photography" but his website has a section entitled 'Sacred Art' which includes some very fine images of stained glass details and statuary. Overall a beautiful website packed with stunning work.
