1. In case you missed our earlier post, today in 1890, Congress formally designated Yosemite a National Park, the third in the system. Happy Birthday Yosemite! The hundreds of stereoscopic images of Yosemite in the NYPL’s collection attest to the popularity of the park as a tourist destination. Make your own GIF of one of these cards with the Stereogranimator - check it out right here.

  2. Apparently today is the 25th anniversary of the animated GIF. To celebrate, make one of your own with the library’s Stereogranimator. Over 28,000 GIFs have been made on the site so far, which is kind of awesome/scary.

  4. I iz MOVING!  Our new Stereogranimator site (which was created by NYPL Labs and allows you to turn historic stereographs from the Library’s collections into animated GIFs or 3-D images) has gotten tons and tons of attention this week (as well as tens of thousands of hits), so we thought we’d use it for this week’s Caturday! Check out this amazing dancing cat, originally photographed in September 1918. The original image is in our Robert N. Dennis collection of stereoscopic views. How cool is it to breathe new life into these old photos? Gotta love it.
