Heritage in the limelight: the magic lantern in Australia and the world

该项目旨在发现和分析大量的玻璃幻灯片，这些幻灯片在我们的公共收藏中仍然没有得到充分利用。国际学术界最近开始表明，幻灯片放映是一种无处不在、全球化和形成性的文化体验。该项目旨在从澳大利亚的角度探索这一全球化现代主义机构的国际影响力和多样性。它计划了解不同的观众如何情感体验这些强大的早期媒体形式，并为今天的澳大利亚人重新体验他们的魔力，振兴和扩大我们的文化遗产开发方法。

The project aims to discover and analyse the large number of glass magic lantern slides that remain under-used in our public collections. International scholarship has recently begun to show that lantern slide shows were a ubiquitous, globalised and formative cultural experience. The project aims to explore the international reach and diversity of this globalised modernist apparatus from the Australian perspective. It plans to understand how diverse audiences affectively experienced these powerful forms of early media, and to develop ways for today’s Australians to re-experience their magic, invigorating and expanding our cultural heritage.
