a custom stereo card graces the cover of issue 16-2<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. May, 1990 was the culmination of strenuous work by some PHSC members, especially Stan White, one of our resident 3D experts. Stan worked hard to pull together a library of stereoscopic material that the society could offer to a local institution on loan for research by its students.<\/p>\n

At the time, Stan was a lecturer at Sheridan, teaching photographic topics to aspiring photographers. Stan \u00a0previously worked on industrial photography in England and later with our journal editor Ev Roseborough in his studio in Toronto.<\/p>\n

On May 22, 1990, a young PHSC president, Mark Singer, met with Sheridan College’s president, Mary Hofstetter to formally place the Canadian Stereoscopic Collection (CSC) on loan to the college. A commemorative stereo card was designed and graced the cover of our journal issue 16-2.<\/p>\n

Sadly, stereo to the average soul was a sometimes thing, falling in and out of fashion, perhaps due to the need for the viewer to use a special viewing apparatus or glasses to keep the left and right images from entering his\/her incorrect eye (unless they had the rare ability to ‘free-view<\/a>‘). The CSC was rarely used and the College elected to return it to the PHSC to gain space for other items.<\/p>\n

At the time, Ryerson (now TMU) was busy absorbing a major collection from Canadian Kodak and lacked resources to accept the CSC. Fortunately it could be housed at the AGO where it resided for many years. But like Sheridan, in time the institution felt the space could be better used. This time some items remained at the AGO while others were returned to the PHSC.<\/p>\n

And as usual recent members can read about the event contained in the pdf file of issue 16-2 on the PHSC DVD that is mailed free to members.
