Abstract Stereographs consist of two nearly identical photographs or photomechanical prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually when viewed through a stereoscope. The Prints & Photographs Division's holdings include images produced from the 1850s to the 1940s, with the bulk of the collection dating between 1870 and 1920. The online images feature cities and towns around the world, expeditions and expositions, industries, disasters, and portraits of Native Americans, presidents, and celebrities.
The online Stereograph Cards category is limited to individual stereographs that have been cataloged online, generally because they have associated copy negatives, transparencies, or digital files. In some cases the digital image shows the full stereo, in other cases, only half of the stereo displays, depending upon how the image was copied.
Note Set characteristics for stereo: Source records are MARC (from LC catalog); MODS or oai_dc records are dynamically generated using generic transformation when harvested. Many records have only inventory-level description, without subject headings. Titles and notes are transcribed from the cards. DCCDaccrualPolicy: Active. DCCDAccrualPeriodicity: Completely irregular.

Record Info Records originated with the DLF Newsletter, 2000-2005, from which they were converted into a FileMaker database. The FileMaker DB was imported into a database system currently maintained by the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Records for collections added after 2005 were created in this database as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. This database is currently being maintained as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. 2008-04-23 eng English Digital Library Federation (DLF) oai:dlfcollectionsregistry.grainger.uiuc.edu:70902
