Scottish Society for the History of Photography

The aim of the SSHoP "...is to further interest and pleasure in historic and modern photography". Their website is a wealth of information and their Annual Lectures in Glasgow and Edinburgh are not to be missed.

Membership is a very reasonable £25 a year; for which you get each issue of their "Studies in Photography", you may attend all meetings and functions, and you also receive invites to private viewings of photography exhibitions at the National Galleries of Scotland (in Edinburgh).
