Take a trip!

Join us for our travels through Oregon and beyond! The new collection “Take a Trip: Traveling and touring with the Visual Instruction Lantern Slides Collection” launched today with images of the 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition in Portland straight from the Visual Instruction Lantern Slides Collection (P217).

The 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition was a true wonder! Though most of the buildings, monuments, or fancy facades you see in this set no longer exist, these slides give us a glimpse into a trip we could have taken… If only we were here 100 years ago!Want to see more? Check out the Flickr Commons set.
