Indiana in stereo

These historical stereo views of Indiana were made between the 1860s and the 1930s, and chronicle the changing nature of life in the Hoosier State. Pictured are scenes from across the state showing landscapes, prominent buildings, natural disasters, families, workplaces, and public gatherings. Sometimes straightforward, often sentimental, these views serve as important documentation of the past. The accompanying essays help readers better understand the development of the stereograph and place the views in historical context.
