The best anti-glare and UV inhibited glass I have found is Tru Vue 
Museum Glass.  I have used it for my conventional silver gelatin 
prints as well as my inkjet prints.  With the silver gelatin I think 
it actually gives the impression of more "alive" shadow detail 
because of the flare reduction.  It's not cheap - about $25/16x20 
sheet in 3 sheet cases.  I get mine from ABC Moulding in Denver (1-
800-621-3315).  Hope this helps!

Cheers,

TK
