Woodsland World Wide
www.woodsland.com/carnivalglass
This is the primary site for Carnival Glass collectors. In addition to lots of sections about the glass, the club offers a daily email newsletter with answers to questions, observations on the hobby, and news about upcoming events. The club also has a yearly convention. If this interests, you'll probably want to join--at a cost of $18 yearly. Easily worth it.
