Lantern Slides
Lantern slides are positive images on glass that were intended to be projected for viewing. In most cases, the emulsion is protected by a second piece of thin glass, and the unit is secured around all four edges with black paper tape. The slides are approximately 3.25 x 4 inches.
The OSU Archives' holdings include about 8000 lantern slides in the following photographic collections. Detailed collection descriptions are available in paper form in the Archives or electronically through the World Wide Web.
