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: PhotoHistory Symposium Features World's First Digital Camera! Steven Sasson, of Eastman Kodak, was the co-inventor of the digital camera in 1975. He holds the prototype of the "film-less camera." EK management at the time was not impressed with the possible loss in film sales. PhotoHistory Symposium will sponsor PhotoHistory XIV in Rochester, NY on Oct. 16-18, 2009.
