Glass Fibre-Optics Lighting for Historic Building is an AASLH Technical Leaflet. AASLH Technical Leaflets are brief, practical guides on how to do history. Technical Leaflet #207 by Gersil N. Kay extols the benefits of using glass fibre-optics in museum settings, particularly historic buildings. Lighting is necessary for seeing the objects that historical institutions hold but it also damages and ruins these objects. Kay explains the components of a glass fibre-optics lighting system and examples of museums that have opted for this type of lighting. Most useful is the set of guidelines and practical procedures for preparing and installing a glass fibre-optic system.
