Array of projectors at the CSC opening event at Sheridan College in late 1990
Toronto. This profusely illustrated article appears in issue 16-4 of our journal. Beginning in the Editor’s Notebook column and continuing for over half of this issue, the article reports on the exciting opening event for the CSC at Sheridan College (write-up by Ev with photos by Bob Lansdale).
Ev begins his review, “November 17th, 1990 marked the official opening with exhibits of historical and modern stereoscopy and the instruments which produced them. In addition the well-known American stereoscopist Ron Labbe brought his presentation Space Shots, which had been a hit of the National Stereoscopic Association convention recently.
“It proved tremendously entertaining and displayed stereographs from the earliest forms to NASA’s latest of Earth from Space. A contemporary musical program, with effects which heightened dramatic moments in the fast-moving show, was specially composed and played by Labbe’s fellow musicians.
“An eight-foot stereo card had been built and two Music/Theatre students performed a stereo drama in the frames. Addresses were short and to the point. A particular note should be made of the work of Stanley J. White, now co-ordinator of the project for PHSC.”
