My Paperweight Links
This short list of links is completely arbitrary and no attempt to be complete. There are much more comprehensive link pages on the web - no point to compete with them.

related web sites for future reference, and digital information for download: have
a look!
I collect paperweights from all over the world and all times -
as long as I can afford them ;-). My main interest are Scottish paperweights,
however, and I am trying to help with the online glass catalogue on
Scotland's
Glass.
My main contribution at the moment is the attempt to fill in as many gaps as
possible in the catalogue of
Caithness
Paperweights.
If you have any questions or want to contribute any images, don't hesitate to

in general, visit the pages of the
(British) Paperweight
Collectors Circle
or the
(American) Paperweight
Collectors Association.
You may even consider joining them, e.g. to receive their interesting regular
newsletters.
