PhotoHistory is a list for archivists, art historians and enthusiasts of early photography. From daguerreotype to Kodachrome. Discuss early photographers, cameras, collections, gallery exhibits, antiquarian techniques and creative methods, archival storage, cataloging, restoring and preservation. The world wide membership reaches many universities, museums and noted archives.

**Note: this group now REQUIRES an introduction for approval to join.


Please note that a complete resume is NOT required, just hint that you are an actual human with an interest in the history of photography (not the spammer bot that has been harassing the moderators.) This is a discussion group, the ability to articulate a sentence or two is essential.


Homepage image: A stunning young woman walks down a street in Florence, her head held high. All around, men playfully gawk at her grace and beauty. Just then the camera shutter snaps. "American Girl in Italy" is among the most popular snapshots of all time, and it's turning 60 years old this month. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/american-girl-italy-60-years-later-221005987.html
