Editorial

Welcome to our first issue for 2023, in which we celebrate the life of Michael Archer, pioneering scholar of stained glass of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and shed some light on the technical practices of one of the artists brought out of obscurity through his research. Our news section highlights an exciting programme of events in the calendar of the Stained Glass Museum and we carry one of the first reviews of the British/Belgian Corpus Vitrearum collaborative publication on the glass of Herkenrode Abbey at Lichfield Cathedral. Our next issue will appear in May and we look forward to hearing from those Vidimus readers who have news, publications or research to share.       Sarah Brown, Editor
