Photos by Edward Harris Stone and Andrew M. Daddio<\/em><\/p>\n Portraiture represents the bulk of work by Edward Harris Stone, the University\u2019s photographer from 1902\u20131958. But Stone\u2019s career also captured numerous iconic campus buildings as they were constructed, renovated, and sometimes demolished. In addition, he \u2014 and his camera \u2014 were present for historic events: soldiers training on Whitnall Field during both World Wars, the post-fire building boom in the village, the installation of electricity, and the rise of the railroad.<\/p>\n The Edward H. Stone Photograph Collection has resided in Special Collections and University Archives since 1959. The bulk of the collection is negatives (numbering approximately 20,000) \u2014 a portion of which are in the early photographic format of gelatin silver glass plates. To the naked eye, these plates appear translucent, but using today\u2019s high-resolution scanners, they are transformed into strikingly clear positive images. So in 2017, the Special Collections and University Archives began preserving and digitizing the Stone Collection. As a result, the Case Library exhibition Glass, Silver, and Memory: Images of Community brings Stone\u2019s photographs back to life.<\/p>\n Here, Andrew Daddio \u2014 the University photographer from 2008\u20132016 \u2014 puts a modern twist on some of the \u2014 Emily Jeffres, digital history project manager<\/i><\/p>\n [masterslider alias=”ms-3″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The works of two photographers \u2014 more than 100 years apart \u2014 join together as one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1221,"featured_media":1958,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[326],"tags":[40,42,177,91,112],"coauthors":[135],"class_list":["post-1569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bicentennial","tag-athletics","tag-bicentennial","tag-campus","tag-photography","tag-sports"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/palXSH-pj","amp_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/05\/cu_hist_nw_thn_composite_01.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1569"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2101,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569\/revisions\/2101"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1569"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
