Special offers for Center for Civil War Photography members. 

As a member of CCWP several of our items are on sale at discounted prices.  10% of each sale will be donated to the Center for Civil War Photography. 

One of the most popular forms of photography during the Civil War was stereo photography (or what we would call 3D).  This involved the use of cameras with two lenses to capture what the left and right eye would see.  When viewed through a stereo viewer these images come to life. 

Starting in 1861 the Library of Congress began collecting stereo cards.  The condition ranges from near perfect to very distressed; with most of them in excellent viewing condition.

For the first time all 685 Civil War stereo view cards (including a few duplicates) in the collection are brought together on one disk for viewing on your PC or Mac. 

For each image:

•Full size scan of the original card
•Converted at full size to anaglyph (red/cyan glasses provided)
•Stereo pair (freeview)
•Cross view
•Additional notes made by the Library of Congress as well as notes from the back of the card (when available). 
 

We have taken the first 100 images that have been restored and made them available on DVD.  Each image is available in three different formats:

Anaglyph for the PC/Mac

Stereo Pair for iTouch/iPhone/SmartPhone using Hasbro My 3D or 3DVu2Go viewer

MPO file for Fuji 3D Camera

To make your experience more complete, for each image, we have provided views that you would not normally be able to see if you only had access to the full image.  We have created, in each format, more than 500 views from the original images.
