Detailed Description of the Records
Lantern Slides (3¼" x 3¼" format): [190-?]-[195-?]
Lantern Slides (3¼" x 4" format): [190-?]-[195-?]
Card catalogue for slides numbered 1 - 2139: [190-?]-[195-?]
Scope and Contents of the Records
The lantern slides are arranged in several groupings of numbered and unnumbered slides covering various Engineering topics including Civil, Electrical, Military, Structural, and others. There are also a few miscellaneous slides. The nature of the groupings suggests that the slides had been used as part of lectures, and there are many local and international engineering projects and examples featured throughout. A major part of the collection (slides numbered 1 through 2139, with a number of slides missing throughout) corresponds with the accompanying card catalogue. This collection also includes a lantern slide projector.
These records are organized into three series.
There are no restrictions on this material.
Users must abide by relevant copyright legislation.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Lantern Slide Collection was found in a dumpster discarded by the Faculty of Engineering in the late 1980s. It was retrieved at this time by a Technician working for the Faculty.
