O’Harra Collection: Glass Lantern Slides and Glass Plate Negatives Extent 1509 items: 1227 glass lantern slides, 282 glass plate negatives; 1358 unique images Scope and Content The C.C. O’Harra Collection consists of papers, publications, photographs, maps, and files of South Dakota School of Mines president and professor Cleophus Cisney O’Harra. The Devereaux Library’s glass lantern, sometimes referred to as magic lantern, collection consists of over 1200—3 ¼“ x 4” numbered slides and vary in subject matter from geology to meteorology to campus history and include photographs, drawings and maps of international, regional and historical interest. The glass plate negatives consist of 282 plates. The plates are of two size formats—4” x 5” and 5” x 7”, and have an unprotected photo emulsion on the back side. The purpose of the items was primarily instructional. They were produced either from a stationary camera, as shown in the photo or “on site” from a more portable unit. Glass plates were the first step in the reproduction process and, as is evidenced by the notations in the margins of many of the originals, were later submitted to a commercial photo processor to be made into glass slides Provenance The glass lantern slides and glass plate negatives have been a part of the university‘s holdings for several decades.

    Interesting Things to Do in South Dakota

    Interesting Things to Do In South Dakota A) Western South Dakota: 1) Black Hills: Visit the awe-inspiring Mount Rushmore or view the magnificent carving of Crazy Horse. Take a trip through Custer State Park, in the heart of the Black Hills (where the buffalo roam). Or experience Sturgis, where motorcycles rule during August, time of the world famous Sturgis motorcycle rally. Other attractions may include a drive through Needles Highway, a visit to the natural cave wonders like Wind Cave (where the largest group of buffalo roam free), Jewel Cave (the third largest cave in the world), or Rushmore Cave, or a trip to Bear Country, an intriguing wildlife park getaway. Approximately 380 miles from Beresford. 2) Wall Drug: On your way to the west, no one can resist stopping at Wall Drug, one of the most famous stops in the U.S. This drug store was founded in 1931 and was made famous by offering free ice water to travelers. Today it typically serves 20,000 guests per day and has restaurants, gift shops, clothing stores and more. If you are looking for that perfect souvenir, you can probably find it here! Approximately 325 miles from Beresford. 3) Badlands: Drive through the Badlands National Park Scenic Byway for amazing views of rock formations and learn of the gangsters who hid out here – many of which got lost in the maze of rock and never made it out. The region of savage erosion, where 35 million years of wind and water have created 244,000 acres of strange and beautiful spires, buttes, and canyons.

  • BLACK HILLS There Are Many Great Motorcycle Roads in the Picturesque Black Hills Area

    BLACK HILLS There Are Many Great Motorcycle Roads in the Picturesque Black Hills Area

    Popular South Dakota Motorcycle Roads Motorcycling in the BLACK HILLS There are many great motorcycle roads in the picturesque Black Hills area. Below are three favorites of both the locals and the many motorcycle riders who come in from out of town to attend the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The Central Hills Loop is a 57-mile loop and a perennial favorite of motorcycle riders. It passes by the Mt. Rushmore National Memorial offering riders a chance to pull over, stretch their legs, and visit the world class memorial and it’s informative & inspiring museum. Rider after rider who take this route rave about the picture opportunities as well as the great curves, pavement conditions, and many enjoyable souvenir browsing & restaurants stops along the way. This motorcycle road also encompasses the incredible “Needles Highway” which is showcased on the next page of this Black Hills area motorcycle riding guide. Spotlight on Needles Highway A particular favorite stretch of motorcycle road is known as “Needles Highway.” This approx. 14 mile stretch of road is named for the incredible spires of solid granite (appearing like “needles”) that surround the road and enchant the travelers lucky enough to take in this scenery. Additionally the road travels through two incredibly narrow tunnels that have been blasted through pure granite walls and only allow single vehicles to travel through at a time. The Needles Highway is part of the Central Hills Loop (described above) and starts south of Hill City, SD where Highway 385 & Route 87 meet. From there take Route 87 south for 14 miles! Custer State Park … Miles & Miles of Motorcycle Riding Bliss Custer State Park Wildlife Loop Road is a 32- mile loop encircling the awe-inspiring Custer State Park located just east of Custer, SD.
