Stereoviews

They say the more things change the more they stay the same. For over x years, you have been able to see stereo ... with a hand held viewer such as that pictured above. 

But things do change. Kids grow up and technology creates more options. Now you can view stereo images on your cell phone with a wonderful new viewer that folds flat known at the "Owl." 

Designed by Brian May, astrophysicist and lead guitarist for the rock band Queen, the Owl viewer can be purchased through his London Stereoscopic Company here.  

It can be used in books of views such as Averill. For more on this book see our previous blog here. 

Of course the owl also works with the original stereo views as well. 

We have many original stereo cards in our collections at the Conway Public Library's Henney History Room and the Conway Historical Society. 

You can find high quality public domain images at various online sources such as the Boston Public Library, J. Paul Getty Museum,  and the New York Public Library. 

but what those online collections lack is the local history behind the scene 

note this Mass online does have the location mapped 

but not too accurately, perhaps talk with them about it?
