Hi, NECCC officers,
We
think that many of your members will like to attend our event, which
brings together the movers and shakers in the photohistory field. You
will find Jennifer Cisney's talk especially interesting. She used to be
Kodak's chief blogger, and now works for Kodak Alaris.

“Our
committee had a particularly difficult time selecting papers for PhotoHistory
XVI from an extraordinary number of excellent submissions. Our hope is that
those we couldn’t select this time will submit again for the next PhotoHistory
Symposium. We have chosen presentations representing early processes, pioneers,
special apparatus, national schools, commercial manufacturing, national defense,
and the preservation of the past,” Scott explained.
PhotoHistory XVI,
the world’s only continuous symposium on the history of photography, begins with
a meet and greet get-together the first evening, and will continue with a full
day of presentations, an evening banquet followed by a next day of browsing at a
Photographica Show and Sale which attracts dealers from North America and
internationally. The most recent PhotoHistory XV was held in October 2011 and
drew about 200 visitors from the Americas, Europe, Australia and
Japan.
The symposium’s
venue, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film,
combines the world’s leading collections of photography and film housed within
the stately landmark Colonial Revival mansion that was George Eastman’s home
from 1905 to 1932. The Museum is a National Historic Landmark. GEH plans to host a photographic book sale on Thursday, Oct. 9.
The Photographic
Historical Society is the first organized society devoted to
photographic history and the preservation of photo antiques. It was founded in
1966. For more information see the Society’s web site at tphs.org.
