| "This group was formed to acknowledge and honor the contributions of dedicated lamp researchers to the growing body of knowledge in the field of antique artificial lighting, and to encourage collectors to share their knowledge. Our concept was to invite a select group of lamp researchers and collectors, and other like-minded persons, to accept membership in The Guild. The Guild's purpose is to further the study of liquid or gaseous fueled lamps and lighting by informally institutionalizing an already existing network of researchers in countries world-wide. The Guild will foster the free and full exchange of historical and technical information between members, and encourage the sharing of this data through existing lamp Collecting Clubs and organizations. The Guild is envisioned as a vehicle to further our individual knowledge, and give Members (and thus all lamp collectors) greater insight into the objects of their collections." -- From the website
