HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP (HPG) SYMPOSIUM
JUNE 6-8, 1997
TO BE HELD AT
MANHATTANVILLE COLLEGE
PURCHASE, NEW YORK
After a hiatus of several years, the History of Photography
Group is organizing an international symposium focusing on
various aspects of the production and dissemination of
photographic images in both the 19th and 20th centuries. As in
the past, we anticipate wide interdisciplinary participation.
---Call for Papers--
Proposals are now being solicited for 30-minute, illustrated
presentations. Art historians, historians, curators, archivists,
regionalists, area studies specialists, collectors, dealers, etc., are
encouraged to submit. Preference will be given to new work, not
previously published or presented. Potential speakers are invited
to submit TWO COPIES of a one to two page (double-spaced)
abstract, along with a resume to either of the co-chairs by
October 15, 1996; selections will be finalized in early November.
Registration and meal fees will be waived for speakers.
--The Symposium--
The symposium will take place the weekend of June 6-8, 1997.
Tentative plans include a welcoming reception Friday evening, an
all-day symposium on Saturday, and an evening event Saturday
night. Manhattanville College is located in Westchester County,
a 35-minute train ride from midtown Manhattan. The campus is
easily accessed via Amtrak and Metro North trains, the White
Plains Airport, and by car from Interstates 95 and 287.
Symposium information and registration forms will be mailed in
early January to all individuals in the HPG data base. Others
interested in receiving the mailing should contact either of the
co-chairs. Editors, authors and publishers of photo-related books
and journals who plan to attend the conference are invited to
contact the co-chairs to request display space.
--The History of Photography Group--
The History of Photography Group began in the mid-80s as a
loosely organized professional group to facilitate communication
among historians of photography. Its primary mission was the
compilation and distribution of a photohistorians' directory,
giving names and areas of interest. The directory, now called the
International Directory of Photography Historians, is being
retuned as an electronic resource. The easiest way to retrieve a
copy and/or register in the directory is to use an internet browser
to go to:
http://www.webcom.com/cityg/resource/hpg/PhotoHistorians.html.
If you have trouble, write to William Allen, Art Department,
Arkansas State University, State University, AR 72467;
