HISTORIC LAMP INITIATIVE Recently, the ALCC took on an a new initiative to identify and record all of the remaining lighthouse lamps in America. In October 2010, the first draft of this important project was completed, and the current listing can be accessed below. Because we feel there are still many historic lamps remaining to be located and identified, this will remain an open and ongoing project. If you have a lamp in your collection, or are aware of any lamps which have yet to be included in the listing, please click here to visit the Lamp Identification Initiative section of this website, where you can download reporting forms, instructions and a number of other unique documents to assist with identification.
