GEORGE MASON ERSITY OER METAFINDER OER = OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (FREE!)
https://mason.deepwebaccess.com/mason__MasonLibrariesOpenEducationResources_5f4/desktop/en/search.html

The Mason OER Metafinder from The Mason Publishing Group at George Mason University Libraries is a powerful search tool that allows users to search record metadata from seventeen digital libraries and repositories, including the Digital Public Library of America, OER Commons, and AMSER-Applied Math and Science Education Repository.

 

Searches are conducted in real-time and are not pre-indexed. To get to the actual metafinder, visitors should click on Mason OER Metafinder from the homepage. 

 

The metafinder allows users to enter search terms in full record (allowing users to search across the entire content of a document), title, author, or date range.

 

Users can also choose which sources the metafinder should search by unselecting repositories below the search bars (all repositories are included by default).

 

As an example, by searching for San Francisco in the full record search bar, the top 755 results are displayed.

 

The option to narrow down results is available on the left-hand side of the search results.

 

SCIENCE OER RESOURCES:

The George Mason Publishing Group also offers a companion Sciences Metafinder, also available from their homepage, which specifically searches scientific repositories for Science resources:

NYPL DIGITAL COLLECTIONS: EARLY AMERICAN PHOTOS; COLLECTION OF STEREOSCOPIC VIEWS
GENERAL
digitalcollections.nypl.org/collections/robert-n-dennis-collection-of-stereoscopic-views#/?tab=about

Stereoscopic photography was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This kind of photography involves placing two photographic images side by side; when one views them through a lens called a stereoscope, the side-by-side photographs create the illusion of a three dimensional image. Richard M. Dennis collected thousands of these photographic images throughout the 20th century. In 1939, Dennis sold his collection - a total of 35,000 images - to the New York Public Library. Continuing to collect stereoscopic images, he then donated an additional 35,000 images in 1980.

Today, the New York Public Library has digitized these images and made them available through its substantial Digital Collections.

 

These photographs were taken between 1850-1930 and depict cities and landmarks across the United States.

 

One can search the collection or browse for certain stereoscopic views by date or geographic location.

 

This collection provides a fascinating glimpse into American history, urban development, and the history of photography. An excellent Primary Source.
