Seeing Double: Pennsylvania’s Industrial Revolution in 3D
April 18 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Dr. Richard Healey introduces Seeing Double: Pennsylvania’s Industrial Revolution in 3D, an exhibit of 19th- and 20th-century stereoviews showing at four PHMC museums on the Industrial Trail of History from April 17 through Summer 2026.
Dr. Healey, a distinguished British geographer at the University of Portsmouth, will offer a virtual introduction to his exhibit on the Pennsylvania industries of rail, iron, oil, and anthracite coal, previously on display at the Royal Geographical Society in London. As part of his research, Dr. Healey has rendered numerous 19th and 20th century stereoviews as red and blue anaglyphs, allowing museum visitors to experience Pennsylvania’s historic industries in 3D.
Seeing Double will show at Anthracite Heritage Museum, Drake Well Museum and Park, Cornwall Iron Furnace, and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, with each museum displaying a component of the exhibit focused on their individual historical themes.
This program will be available virtually via Zoom (link). The Anthracite Heritage Museum will also host a live viewing party.
