http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/nyhs/stereograph/stereograph.html

The Stereograph File consists of materials published in the stereographic form, which when seen through a viewer gives the impression of being a three dimensional representation. The bulk of the collection consists of paper stereographs (which range in size from 3 1/8 x 6 3/4 inches to 4 x 7 inches) published between 1860-1900, including albumen and silver gelatin prints. There are also early glass stereographs, tissue stereographs, tintypes, and photomechanically produced views. The views were acquired from a variety of sources over the last 130 years and represent of the work of a large variety of photographers and publishers. Most of the collection depicts identifiable locations or subject matter. There are also views that were staged in a dramatic fashion to tell or story or convey emotional content.
