Lantern Slides Collection
Collection
Identifier: PICT-994-026
Scope and Content
This collection contains glass lantern slides of archaeological sites in the Central and South America, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, archeological sites in the Southwest, Native Americans, maps, and osteology samples.
Some of the Southwest archeological slides have the name "Paul Reiter" printed on them. Paul Reiter was an anthropoligist in the mid-20th century. He was first introduced to the field of anthropology when he became a part-time driver for Dr. E. L. Hewett in 1925. He went on to earn his BA and MA in Anthropology from UNM, and then his PhD from Harvard in 1946. Through his connection to Hewett, Reiter was involved in the UNM Field Schools, first as a student and then as an instructor. He would also serve as Curator of Archaeology at the Museum of New Mexico before becoming an associate professor of anthropology at UNM. [Source: National Park Service]
The slides were developed by various companies, including Newton & Co. (Fleet Street, London), Riley Optical Instrument Co. (New York), and Keystone View Company (Meadville, Pennsylvania); and some were distributed by The Illustrated London News.
Some of the slides are labelled "Charles Herman Tozier Collection, Harvard University."
This collection was donated to the Center for Southwest Research by the UNM Art Museum.
