Doing anything with stereogram viewing

[Teresa Duggan]

Update: I went to the Maryland Historical Society the other and saw a large
flat-screen video display of Civil War stereo photos. If this is the kind
of thing you had in mind rather than viewing the actual cards, you might
want to ask them about it: http://www.mdhs.org/

The exhibit was *Maryland in the Civil War*, and they had red-cyan
anaglyphs on screen with a basket of regular red-cyan 3-D glasses for
viewing. It worked well! They also had displays nearby explaining ho w the
old cards worked and vintage displays showing actual old cards, props
demonstrating the old cameras, field developing setups, etc.

On the way out I noticed a printed book from 2012 with red-cyan stereo
images from the Civil War, so there's a chance that they already existed in
that form rather than being made by museum workers, but you'll have to ask
them. Hope it helps, and please let me know if you learn anything more.
