International Conference for photographers in the cultural heritage sector.
14, 15, 16 June 2011
Hotel Metropole, Brighton, Sussex, England

Photographers working in the cultural heritage sector, in museums, galleries and libraries are a group not globally integrated, unlike their professional colleagues such as curators and conservators. This community of photographers is international but many work in isolation and have little contact with others in the field. It is with this in mind that AHFAP, the Association for Historical and Fine Art Photography, extends a welcome to photographers employed in this sector, from all over the world, to participate in a conference to discuss cultural heritage photography.
This occasion is the first opportunity for this group to meet colleagues from around the world. The international conference will be held in Brighton, Sussex, on the south coast of England in June 2011. Delegates are expected from the USA, Europe, Australia and China, as well as the UK.
AHFAP, founded just over 25 years ago, is the national organisation for image professionals in the cultural heritage sector in the UK. It exists to provide a forum for photographers, image-makers and image archivists to share experiences and benefit from mutual co-operation. Few photographers in other parts of the world have the social and professional advantage of such an association.
The Conference Timetable is now available along with further information on the Conference Programme.
