HEIR: A New Interdisciplinary Source for the Study of Global Childhood in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries

Abstract

The Historic Environment Image Resource (HEIR) is a new database of over 10,000 lantern slide and glass plate negative photographic images. These images derive from Oxford University teaching collections brought together between c. 1880 and 1910. Although they were intended to be used for teaching in a variety of academic disciplines, none of which focused on children or childhood, nonetheless these images provide a useful new resource for an interdisciplinary study of global childhood at the turn of the twentieth century.
