EVENTS, OUT REACH, LIBRARY, AND CALENDAR
For visiting groups, the Museum staff has prepared a program illustrating
landmark photographic processes and honoring photographic pioneers like Niépce,
Daguerre, Fox Talbot, George Eastman, and others. Photographs illustrating early
processes are shown together with landmark cameras selected from the collection
which best illustrates the evolution of camera design. Unlike many museums, many
of the shelves are open for visitors to examine the collection, becoming acquainted
with cameras of yesteryear, perhaps admiring the ingenuity of early camera designers.
This program explores the history of photography in an interesting way. It
is designed for visiting High School and Middle School students studying photography
either as an art or as a component of a graphic arts curriculum, and for camera and
photography clubs as a field trip.
The Museum houses a specialized reference library, available to visiting camera
collectors and historians, to aid in identifying and cataloging the enormous number
of variations in camera design which have appeared within the nearly two century
lifespan of the art and science which is photography.
No fees are charged for museum visits or group programs.
