The Visual Resources Curator of the University Library, Sarah Christensen, is engaged in a project to identify lantern slides unique to the University of Illinois in subject matter or institutional significance, and then digitize and make these slides available. You can find examples of these materials by going to http://www.library.illinois.edu/contentdm/cdm4/search.php and entering "lantern slides" as a search term. If you know of any such collections currently in your departments or held by an emeritus professor, would you please contact Sarah Christensen (schrstn@illinois.edu) or Nancy O'Brien (npobrien@illinois.edu) so that we can add to this resource? Thank you!
