Details zur Sammlung
The Sims Song Slide Corporation was active in Kirksville, MO, in the 1920s. It produced glass lantern slides, a popular entertainment medium of the day. A precursor to the modern motion picture, the slides in this collection would have been projected onto a screen with musical accompaniment while the audience sang along. The collection provides a unique glimpse into the popular music and culture of the early 20th century. The originals are housed in Special Collections & University Archives in Pickler Memorial Library at Truman State University.
