THE
ASSOCIATION FOR HISTORICAL
&
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY INFORMATION
| AHFAP was founded in 1985 by groups of photographers in the photographic studios at some of the national museums in London. Hitherto these studios were working in isolation from each other and there was little communication between them. It was recognised that closer ties would benefit the profession and the association has met regularly ever since with an annual conference held in London in the autumn. It produces a journal of papers each year and has occasional regional meetings in the north of England. | The main function is to raise the profile of image professionals in the cultural heritage sector and to encourage the exchange of professional knowledge and experience. There are now over 300 members in the UK in all types of cultural institutions, from the largest museums to small commercial galleries and freelance fine art photographers. Image professionals are invited to join. Please contact the Membership Secretary. |
