A home for my tools, photographs, stories, family history, and other things found useful, beautiful, or worth preserving.

Things made.
Things found.
Things worth keeping.

Favorites

Books, films, photographs, music, websites, videos, tools, and ideas that have earned more than a passing recommendation.

Not a feed. A shelf that improves slowly.

Built to grow without needing to know, today, what it will eventually contain.

mcglasson.com is the long-lived digital home of William D. McGlasson and, where it fits naturally, the creative and historical work of the McGlasson family.

The site is intentionally small at the beginning. Its structure is durable; its contents will be added with care.
