Scope and content
Series consists of the correspondence of the Lantern Slide Department of Manitoba College, which kept a library of magic lantern slides and equipment for rental primarily to church groups. The slides covered geography, history, world cultures, and missionary work in Canada and around the world. The correspondence, both outgoing in copy and incoming, is between the College's distributor, Presbytarian Publications, concerning orders for slides and lanterns; and with patrons of the College's rental media and equipment. Series is arranged into Incoming and Outgoing, respectively, and sorted chronologically within each category.
