slide collection, 3.5 x 4 inch lantern slides, a technology invented in 1849, were the standard format used for
classroom presentation. By the 1950’s, 35mm color slides began to supplant this mechanism. Over the decades,
the slide collection grew to more than 320,000 lantern and 35mm slides with particular strengths in areas of
faculty expertise such as Medieval and Renaissance art as well as the arts of Asia. By 2002, the transition to
digital technology was underway as new media formats were introduced in the Yale classroom. In 2007, the
Office of the Provost provided major funding to digitize 100,000 slides and 30,000 photographs. In less than a
decade, the VRC digital image collection has grown to approximately 300,000 images of global art and
architecture, one of the largest academic collections in the world.
Accessing the Analog Slide and Photograph Collections
The analog photograph and slide collections were transferred from Street Hall, the former office of the VRC, to
the Library Shelving Facility in 2008 and are stored in optimal conditions for long-term preservation. Catalog
records for these collections are available in ORBIS and include finding aids to assist patrons in locating
materials. Finding Aids are also available in the Finding Aids Database. Please contact Robert Carlucci or Maria
Zapata for assistance requesting materials from the analog collections.
