Our current exhibition Toys of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s got me thinking about unconventional toys. Could a camera be considered a toy?

Great news! History Colorado’s Photography Department has finished unpacking and re-housing our entire glass plate negative collection! For the first time ever, this collection made up of hundreds of thousands of glass negatives is now available for research and photo reproductions. The project took two years to complete and involved the hard work of Megan Friedel, Emily Moazami, Melissa de Bie, Bridget O'Toole, Natalie Elder, Kalyani Fernando, Becca Goodrum, Sarah Plimpton and Charlotte Whitman.
