French tissue stereoviews are a type of photograph that when lit from behind become colorful and bright. So how do you digitize these unique objects so the colors appear? Boyer Collection Project Photographer Mireya Salinas shows us how she does this as part of an NEH-funded project. See the full video and learn more about the work she is doing with Project Cataloger Lilyan Jones at eastman.org/boyer.
