So how did you end up with stereo slides in your collection? In 1958, it cost $129 to buy a Stereo Realist camera for stereo photography, and you needed this camera or one made by a competitor to create these images. The first stereoscope was actually invented in 1838, before photography was even available, so they used drawings instead. Your stereo slides are called stereograms and they are meant to be viewed exclusively through a stereoscope. This technique is called stereoscopy, and it is very neat, but not the same as presenting an image in three dimensions. To get technical for a moment, you may have been calling them 3D stereo slides, because the two side-by-side images create the illusion of depth for your brain. Stereo slides are one of the coolest formats we work on with our slide scanning services. If you’re thinking you’ll never find a place to do stereo slide scanning, you’ve found one!

Getting together to view friends’ slide shows was a more social experience, no doubt, than clicking through pics on today’s “social” media platforms. On the home front, meanwhile, Kodachrome became increasing popular, reaching its peak in the 1960’s and 70’s, when slide carousels memorializing family vacations and events were ubiquitous in American homes. From the Hindenburg disaster and Edmund Hillary’s ascent of Mount Everest, to the JFK assassination and 1980’s Afghan refugee camps, Kodachrome brought world news to life. Invented at Kodak’s research facility in Rochester, NY in 1936, Kodachrome revolutionized photography, and captured moments as iconic as the film itself.
Amateurs and pros agree – the age of Kodachrome produced stunning, lifelike images like no other film before or since.
