Call Eastman Kodak, they still manufacturer glass plates. However, the
plates available may not be suitable for the type of photography you might
want to do. They are primarily designed for Scientific applications such as
Holography, Electron Beam Imaging, tracing the paths of electrons, etc.
Generally speaking, you will want to use a plate with a panchromatic
emulsion.

It is lamentable that EK Co does not carry the vast array of sensitized
products they once did.

Finally, you need to call Eastman, do not rely upon catalogs such as their
Professional Products Catalog, it gives a rather incomplete listing of
their entire photographic products line.

Good luck to you. By the way, I spent more years than I can remember
printing from plates - 21/4 x 3-1/4 to 16 X 20, so I might be of help
should you end up with plates you can use.
