[BCMA] Preserving stained glass piece (no subject)

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Good afternoon,

Please let me introduce myself. My name is Sampson Michel and I am a summer
student working at the Lillooet Museum and Visitor Centre. My supervisor is
Angela Bissat and she is copied in this message.

The museum has a piece of artwork and we are looking for assistance to
identify, restore and/or conserve the piece. We had been advised that the
piece is stained glass from the original church that stood on the Lillooet
Museum site, and dated from 1861.

We were put in contact with Gilroy Stained Glass out of Richmond, BC.
Pictures were sent, and John Gilroy, owner of Gilroy Stained Glass, advised
us that it appears the window style and artwork are of a style that is more
like 20th century rather than 19th century. He also advised that it is a
"painting on material piece" rather than stained glass.

We want to restore and conserve this piece, as it is an important piece of
Lillooet history. Any advice, recommendations, funding options or
directions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for any assistance you are able to give!
Sampson Michel, Visitor Centre Counselor
