Taken by Dr Chas H, Birkett
These are "Magic Lantern" Glass Slides (1870's - early 1900's)
East Liverpool Historical Society
There were 146 Magic Lantern slides originally (A few have been removed, or lost or broken) and an additional 91 slides of local people.
The EL Historical Society has these slides and even an old Magic Lantern Projector to show them that still works. Matt Stewart, a Professor at the local branch of Kent State U, and a a members of the ELHS set up the projector in one of the classrooms on the 4th Floor of the former Mary Patterson (Kent State U. Branch) along with a camera on a tripod behind the projector and photographed each slide as it was projected onto the screen. We did each of the scenes of ELO slides then each of the 91 slides of local people. It took us a couple days to do them all. All text courtesy of ELHS unless otherwise indicated.
