The inaugural issue of JSAH (then called JASAH) called for the nascent society to “investigate, develop, and apply new techniques and aids. For example, the effective presentation of three-dimensional architectural monuments in color would greatly increase the appreciation of fine architectural design.” To that end, the society’s organizers explored innovative means of presenting architecture: “We hope to present before the summer meeting a demonstration of the new polaroid, three-dimensional, color slide projection which promises to be a most important development in this direction.”1 This new projection technology used “vectographs,” transparencies “composed of two superposed stereoscopic images polarized at right angles to each other, giving a three-dimensional effect when viewed through appropriate polarizing spectacles.”2 Invented by the Polaroid Corporation, vectographs were employed during World...
