The Daguerreian Society is an organization of hundreds of individuals and institutions sharing a common interest in the art, history and practice of the daguerreotype and related early photography. Our members include students and teachers… museum curators and scientists... collectors and dealers... historians, photographers and artists. Daguerreotypes -- the glittering, mirror-like images made by the world's first practical system of photography -- are only one part of what brings us together. Over the years, we've learned to appreciate the skills and knowledge of our fellow members, and their dedication to increasing the world's understanding of early photography and its role in history. Our organization holds an annual Symposium, publishes a Newsletter and an Annual with scholarly articles, and maintains an extensive website with daguerreian images and information, which we encourage you to visit.
If you share our interest in the daguerreotype and early photography, please consider becoming a member of the Society.
A membership in the Society includes:
- Our Newsletter, published four times a year and featuring over twenty-four pages of previously unpublished daguerreotypes, articles of interest, late breaking news, and reviews of recent publications.
- The Daguerreian Society Annual: a publication with over 200 pages of unique research by Society members supported by scores of quality reproductions and historical reprints. In publication since 1990, these volumes have become a prime resource for daguerreian study and appreciation.
- Discounted rates at our annual Symposium: a full weekend of presentations, round table discussions and enjoying the company of other persons who love daguerreotypes.
- Our Membership directory is now available on-line and available to members. The searchable Directory contains members' addresses and phone numbers as well as a listing of member's interests and is cross-indexed by state.
The Daguerreian Society is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
