Mark your calendars for the Symposium, PhotoHistory XIV, to be held
October 16-18, 2009 at George Eastman House, Rochester, NY, conducted
by The Photographic Historical Society in cooperation with George
Eastman House.

Since its inception in 1970, this triennial event is the world's only
ongoing symposium on the history of photography. It is recognized as
the principal forum for original, scholarly presentations in this
field. Several hundred historians, collectors, and enthusiasts from
around the world are expected to gather for a weekend of lectures,
exhibits, and a major sale of antique photographica. (Special interest
groups often meet while at the symposium.)

The major feature of PhotoHistory is its full day lecture program.
More leading authors have presented here than at any other venue. We
strive for a program offering a wide range of photo-historical topics,
including the social/commercial impact, esthetics, and technology of
photography. The lives of those who shaped this field are also of
interest.
We are entertaining contributions for PhotoHistory XIV. If you have a
presentation you would like to have considered for the Symposium
program, please send a description (including the time required) and a
one-page abstract. We need the description and abstract no later than
December 31, 2008, to enable proper committee review and subsequent
correspondence.
Electronic submission of proposals should be sent to: Prof. Andrew
Davidhazy, at andpph@xxxxxxx making sure the Subject li
ne states that the message is related to submitting an abstract for
the XIVth Symposium.

Communications in writing using the postal service should be sent to:
Martin L. Scott, 49 Ramsey Park, Rochester NY 14610. .

Our program features 45-50 minute presentations, but also welcomes
proposals for brief presentations (e.g., 15-30 minutes). We prefer
that the lectures not have been presented or published previously. We
waive registration, hotel, and meal fees for speakers.

We anticipate another successful and stimulating PhotoHistory
Symposium, and hope you will participate. Please pass the word to
colleagues who share an interest in the history of photography. Write
or call (585) 244-7175, if additional information is needed, or if you
wish to suggest others whom we can contact as possible speakers.

Please feel free to disseminate this Call for Papers to anyone who
might benefit from knowing about the Symposium.
