Congresses of the Professional Photographers' Association |

PPA Congresses The annual event for professional photographers, from 1910 until at least 1935 (except during the years of the First World War) was the Congress of the Professional Photographers Association. The list below shows the dates and venues of the Congresses from 1910 to 1935, and some of the activities during the congresses. Many of the early Congresses and Photographic Fairs were held in the Horticultural Halls. Details of these Congresses, and often a large photograph of delegates, can be found in contemporary editions of the British Journal of Photography. PPA Congresses may well have continued beyond 1935. I have not checked the British Journal of Photography for later years. |
