Magic Lantern Slides

From the Geography Department's Collection

The Geography Department has a collection of thousands of turn-of-the-century glass lantern slides. These four are offered as a small sample. A major effort is currently underway to scan all of the images, beginning with those of California, and make them available on the web.
