These pages are patterned after a book describing the collection. Some of the photographs in the book were not available when these pages were prepared. Some of the photographs do not display well on screen. As time permits, those pieces will be re-photographed and these pages updated. If you would like to see a different angle of a specific piece, or have other suggestions for these pages, please contact the webmaster.
Mr. LaTournous has donated his life-long collection of books and pamphlets regarding American and European Cut and Engraved Glass, to be available to the public. Glass Collectors and hobbyists may make use of these research materials during regular business hours. For a current schedule of hours for the glass display, please call the PPL Environmental Learning Center at 570-251-6196. For access to the research materials, please call WHS at 570-226-8980 or by e-mail.
