Re: lantern slide collections



I have one collection of lantern slides, ca 1940s, from a research office.
There are 74 surviving slides in the collection.  I came across another set
which I believe were used by a former university president for some kind of
presentation to the board or at speaking engagements.  Same time period;
perhaps 40 slides total, most of which were images taken from books, maps
and other published materials.  I kept only a few which depict graphs of
institutional activities (e.g., enrollment totals).

We have a fairly large collection of lantern slides -- ca. 2000.

I am curious to know how this quantity compares with other lantern slide
collections in my colleagues' institutions.

Is this an unusually large quantity? Average? Not-so-significant?

thank you,
Lisa Gibbon
