Instead of buying special glass, you might consider applying a

List members:

I am looking to replace a standard piece of plate glass in our reading
room 
area with something much more archivally correct (UV filtering).  Do any
of 
you have any experience with this sort of request and if so 
vendors/manufacturers that sell it?

Thanks in advance.
