These slides are normally projected using a Balopticon “magic” lantern/ projector, but Charlie’s mission is to digitize and preserve a curated set of the photos and make them available for public viewing. The multitude of images include a set of Greece. Charlie will share with us a “different” history of Greece and his goals for preserving it.

Charlie will mainly present the digitized images, but will give us a taste of Balopticon projector as well.

Images can be viewed at: digitalcommons.brockport.edu/greece_slides/
