"Mirror Images: Daguerre and the First Photographic Process"
(Now closed)
from the International Photography Hall of Fame & Museum, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma.

In 2000, the Powers Museum loaned several daguerreotypes that were used in an exhibit at the International Photography Hall of Fame & Museum in Oklahoma City. In the late fall of 2001, the Powers Museum had a chance to host a mini version of this exhibit discussing Louis Daguerre and the first photographic process. The exhibit was augmented with other daguerreotypes from the museum's collection that were donated several years ago by former resident Alice Light. This was the first time any of these photographic images had been displayed at the Carthage museum.
The Powers Museum is grateful to the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum for this opportunity. The exhibit and brochure were originally sponsored by the Kirkpatrick Foundation, Inc. and we would like to acknowledge this foundation as well.
In August 2002, Lori Oden of IPHFM conducted a conservation project on the collection of cased photographs donated to the museum by Alice Light. In the future, selections from this collection will be presented online.
