The meeting room measures about thirty by forty feet, being lighted by an almost continuous series of large windows on its northern side and several others in the southern wall, thus affording an abundance of light and ventilation. The room contains the library of over three hundred volumes, probably one of the most valuable collections of works on photography in the country. There are also several reading tables filled with the current photographic literature of the day. A convenient dark-room is connected with the meeting room, to which members have free access at all times and which affords all necessary facilities for demonstrations, etc., at meetings. The walls of the meeting room are adorned with many heautiful specimens of photography, in part the work of memhers aud representing also much fine work hy other photographers of note. Numerous alhums and cahinets also contain pictorial records of the work of the Society since its organization.
