Out of the Forum, Company of Military Historians

Q. I have had this glass slide for awile and have tried several times to identify it. It may be taken from a stereoview. With the flag pole in the background I thought is may be a military post in New Mexico or Arizona. Any help is appreciated.

A. Try searching the Library of Congress, American Memory, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html.

Another source maybe the Daguerreian Society: http://www.daguerre.org/

Both have large collections of old images.

Might be a good activity for an upcoming chapter meeting if enough members have laptops.
