International Association for the History of Glass

This site provides information about the Association internationale pour l’histoire du verre (AIHV) – what it is, how to join, where to buy our publications and how to find out about our congresses.

We are an international organisation devoted to advancing knowledge about glass – its use, history and aesthetic qualities from antiquity to present times.

We hold a congress every three years and publish the papers that are given in the series Annales de l’AIHV. Every six month, members receive regularly an information letter containing the announcements of conferences, colloquia and exhibitions as well as a bibliographical update.
