Presentation Equipment Museum

Teaching Technology Through Time

Westminster Audio Visual Services maintains an intriguing display of audio visual equipment that spans more than a hundred years of educational technology.

Housed in the Freeman Wing of the McKelvey Campus Center, this collection - assembled over the years by Audio Visual staff - exhibits (with few exceptions,) in display cases like the one pictured here unique teaching technology used in various Westminster departments and classrooms as far back as 1900.

Viewing guides are available at the display, and special guided tours may be arranged in advance with department staff.

These pieces may also be loaned out for demonstration and special display through arrangements with the Audio Visual Services office. (Some restrictions apply.)

Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. Projector (1941)

(Displayed as number 15 at the museum site.) This projector was also known as the “Magic Lantern” projector. It projected slides instead of film and was claimed to be the finest of its time as a still image projector. It wasn’t for personal use and was instead used for artwork projections as well as for businesses. It had a large interior space for the lamp and also an adjustable fan to keep cool.
