The objects of the Society of Glass Technology are to encourage and advance the study of the history, art, science, design, manufacture, after treatment, distribution and end use of glass of any and every kind. These aims are furthered by meetings, publications, the maintenance of a library and the promotion of association with other interested persons and organisations.
Glass Technology was first published in 1960. There are six issues per volume. Each issue contains features, news, peer reviewed papers and reviews.
The Society of Glass Technology and the Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft agreed to combine their journals from 2006 into two new series entitled
- Glass Technology: European Journal of Glass Science and Technology Part A
- Physics and Chemistry of Glasses: European Journal of Glass Science and Technology Part B
