Frequently Asked Questions

档案和特别收藏以及珍本室位于戈达德图书馆的一楼, off the Academic Commons.

不,你需要使用档案馆或珍本阅览室的资料. 我们的材料不流通,但我们能够将一些材料数字化,并通过我们的网站提供.

Yes. as long as you do not use a flash.

我们不允许向其他人展示一个还活着的人的记录. If the person you are interested in has died, we would need to see some record of that, like an obituary, before showing the materials.

We have most of them. Before the Archives were established in 1972, 所有的论文都在大学图书馆的流通馆藏中, and some were borrowed and never returned. Because the University has only this one copy, we do not lend out master’s or doctoral theses, and they must be used on site. We also digitize theses and dissertations, when feasible.

Libbey Slide Collection

Picture of Libbey

In 1928, Clark University was given the library of Dr. William Libbey, 普林斯顿大学自然地理学教授兼地质考古博物馆馆长. 礼物中包括14000个可以追溯到1860年到1910年的灯笼幻灯片.

该系列包括商业套装和个人原始照片. 它包括100个系列的幻灯片,每个都涉及一个特定的主题, state, 或国家-代表了19世纪末和20世纪初全球许多地区的地理和人民的显著横截面.

About Lantern Slides

Lantern slides, 现代硬纸板或塑料幻灯片的前身, consist of two small glass plates. 一块板上涂有一层乳剂,当暴露在光线下时可以捕捉图像, 在第一块玻璃板上放置第二块玻璃板以保护乳剂. A cutout border, usually of black paper, 放在玻璃板之间作为画框. The glass plates are sealed together with black tape. 用来照亮幻灯片的投影仪被称为“魔灯”——因此有了“幻灯”这个词.”

尽管在1839年之前,魔术灯笼被用来投射透明的图画, 直到1850年,美国才制造出玻璃照相玻片. 它们成为一种常见的家庭娱乐形式,到1900年达到了最受欢迎的程度. 直到20世纪20年代末到30年代中期,35毫米胶片和相机才被广泛使用.

一般来说,幻灯片是黑白的,但它们可以用透明的油手工上色. 它们通常是商业生产的,通常由购买照片版权的眼镜商出售, reproduced them as lantern slides, and sold them either singly or in sets. Descriptive booklets were often included with the sets. 许多摄影先驱都以这种方式复制他们的照片.
