Our History

In 1934 membership in a national photographic group was confined to camera clubs that made up the Associated Camera Clubs of America, but a group of forward-thinking people saw a need for a society where individual photographers could join. In 1934 the Photographic Society of America was born with the enthusiastic support of photographers, camera clubs and leading photographic institutions and manufacturers. The prevalent feeling of those involved in photography was that one had a “duty” to join the new Society.
