The Re-Envisioning Japan Research Collection includes objects representing a wide range of photographic formats and photochemical processes. These include vividly painted glass lantern slides; color and black and white stereographs (also known as stereoviews); personal, commercial, and commemorative souvenir photo albums; albumen photographs made specifically for the tourist trade; small, boxed sets of souvenir photographs; and View Master slides. We are currently in the process of systematically adding these objects to this site. Please check back regularly for new items.
