In a new blog post Mary Phan, the V&A's second Curatorial Fellow in Photography, supported by the Bern Schwartz Family Foundation, discusses her research on the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC) Collection which is part of the Royal Photographic Society collection, held at the V&A Museum. The NCC collection consists of nearly 2000 images from the late ninteenth century to the 1960s. It was passed to the RPS after the NCC was dissolved in 1991.
Mary is also curating a display on ‘Ecology and the Photobook’ in the V&A's Photography Centre. Opening in June 2024, the display will feature contemporary photobooks concerning the intersections of art and ecology.
