I believe the Toronto Public Library also houses a small collection of stereoscopic prints of Toronto, but I’m not sure how accessible those are to general viewership, so the AGO seems to be the go-to 19th-century-3D-viewing spot of choice around here. Thanks for the Friedberg reference – that looks like a great read.

Visitors to the AGO’s permanent photography exhibit can view stereoscopic prints the voracious way that Anne Friedberg (1993) suggests that the Victorians did. The AGO has salted the collection with a few contemporary prints. When I was there last I expected to consume one Victorian interior after another only to suddenly bring an exterior shot of the new AGO extension into focus.
