Stereoscope Collection By Media Format

If you know you’re looking for a glass, reel or film viewer, this is the page for you. We’ve grouped the collection by the type of 3D media they primarily use. Take note that this is a loose grouping. So for instance, you’ll find all slide viewers grouped together with no additional separation by perf count (4p, 5p, etc.) or type of slide mount. You’ll clearly see the impact of our mid-century focus: there are fewer glass and filmstrip viewers and lots of slide viewers.
