Had the opportunity at seminar to visit and tour the archives of the Rakow Research Library at the Corning Museum Of Glass. Absolutely mind-boggling the amount of material contained therein.

Re: Rakow Research Library - OMG!
I don't understand. Is this a picture of the catalog you took while at the library or did you access this online? Is all this information available to the public?
Re: Rakow Research Library - OMG!
The public can go to the Rakow library for research just like a regular public or university library. Materials found in the digital card catalog can be requested to be brought out from the stacks for examination. Some are only available on microfilm. Materials from the secured archive can also be requested, but I would think likely not just for casual visitor perusal. Digitized versions are accessible online, but not of everything. More is being added as time and resources allow. Many can be viewed online through the Pyrex Potluck website research room page: http://pyrex.cmog.org/research-room" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Not all entries have had their content digitized, so you just have to dig around and see what there currently is to see.
