Collection consists of 218 images from the "600 Set" of glass lantern slides produced by the Keystone View Company, a distributor of stereographic images formed in 1892 in Meadville, Pennsylvania, by B. L. Singley. For use in the classroom, each slide is approximately 4 inches by 3.25 inches and labeled with a number and a short description. Images depict a wide range of subject matter but primarily illustrate places of urban and rural commercial and agricultural industry including farms, quarries, textile mills, ports, and manufacturing plants, places of architectural, natural, and historical significance, and places of natural beauty in North America, Europe, South America, Africa, and Australasia. Also included are astronomical images of Saturn, Uranus and Morehouse's Comet. Images date from the 1890s through the early twentieth century.
