The Keystone 600 Set and its role in earlytwentieth-century education

First released by Keystone View Company in 1906, the 600 Set was marketed specifically for educational use. As the name suggests, each set consists of 600 stereographs that Keystone intended to be a comprehensive view of the world at that time. This project positions Keystone View Company in the educational field and discusses some of the problematic ideas that Keystone perpetuated through these educational sets by cataloging and analyzing a 600 Set held in the photography collection at the George Eastman Museum. The project also aims to provide greater access to an important part of early-twentieth-century education.
