Brilliant suggestion, Dean! Thanks – I’ve been trying to figure out how I could use medical teaching slides in exhibits, and the “pseudo” slide should work just fine in place of my rare originals. It should also work in place of glass-plate x-rays. Wonderful!

Try scanning the slide, and then print the scan on a transparency (these film sheets they

use for overhead projectors.   You can them cut that to the size of the lantern slide and

see if you can display that as a “pseudo” representation of the slide.   You can put masking

tape around it to simulate the frame…

 

Or do you have any lantern slides which you have as “objects” rather than for their archival

Importance?

I have an exhibit explaining the fundamentals of our archives coming up, and I'd like to set out some examples of some of the more unusual materials we collect, including a glass lantern slide; however, we don't have UV-protective glass in the exhibit cases. (I never put out authentic photo prints for that reason, but only facsimiles or extra prints I don't mind discarding.) Am I right in assuming it probaby wouldn't be wise to put out a real slide in that situation, but should perhaps consider a demonstrative photograph instead? It doesn't have the same visceral impact, I know, but I'm more worried about damaging an original. Any suggestions?
