Have a story to tell? Your fellow members want to hear it!

Propose a talk for The Daguerreian Society Symposium, Oct. 17-19 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Based on member comments from previous Symposiums, there’s interest in a wide range of topics, including:

• Collections management – including appraisals, insurance, conservation, archival storage, cataloguing
• Pivotal figures in daguerreotypy/19th-century photography
• Hidden gems/Overlooked collections/Discoveries
• Market trends:  how values have changed and what’s likely to happen next

Please keep in mind: 

• All talks must be illustrated with compelling images. Members tend to be visually-oriented people – we’d rather sit through 25 minutes of images without narration than endure a talk of the same length with only a few pictures.
• Shorter talks will be given preference.
• You do not need any special credentials – our speakers, like our members, come from all walks of life.

To submit your idea for a Symposium presentation, email a summary, estimated running time, and 3 to 5 sample images to diane_dagsoc@comcast.net.

See you in Houston!
