Welcome...

Welcome to the British photographic history blog which was launched at the start of 2009. There are now several hundred members and regular readers ranging from museum and gallery curators, photographic academics, collectors, dealers and representatives from the photographic press from around the world. The blog provides a participatory forum for news of events and happenings within the British photographic history community. This may include lectures or meetings, exhibition news, jobs in the field and general news affecting collections of photographic material. It will also include relevant book and website reviews. The focus is on Britain but may, on occasion, include material that is of wider interest from Europe, the United States and Asia.
