History / Biographical: Stereographs are photographs of the same subject taken from slightly different angles. These photos, displayed side by side in a stereoscope, would be viewed at close range, forcing the eye to overlay the two photos to create a 3D effect. Stereoscopes could be hand held or mounted to a table or other surface. Stereographs could be made with a single camera, moved slightly from the first image taken; specialized dual-lens cameras streamlined the process. Stereographs can be made with precious metals, glass, paper, and celluloid bases with any kind of photographic process.

Scope & Content: File consists of glass stereo transparencies depicting Rocky Mountain scenic views, mountians, wildlife, and horse rides. Includes Bow Valley, Banff, Icefield Parkway, Saskatchewan River, and surrounding areas.
