Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
The Daguerreian Society (Daguerre.org) invites authors to submit original papers that address and advance the understanding and appreciation of 19th century photography. Possible topics include the art, history, social impact, and practice of the daguerreotype and other photographic processes of this period.
All submissions will be considered for publication in the 2017 Daguerreian Annual.
Award for New Contributors
A $500 award will be given to the paper selected as best submission from an author who has not previously published in The Daguerreian Annual.
The Julian Wolff Awards for Student and Graduate Student Authors
The author of the highest-scored paper accepted for publication from a student or graduate student will receive $1,000, and second-highest scored paper will receive $500. The two winners will also receive complimentary registration to the 2018 Daguerreian Society Symposium in New York City. The prizes for student and graduate student authors are offered in memory of the late Julian Wolff, an educator, collector and dealer whose love for the daguerreotype contributed to many private and institutional collections.
