CFP: Daguerreian Society 2014
The Daguerreian Society (Daguerre.org) is offering a call
for original papers that address and advance the understanding and appreciation
of the Daguerreian era (ca 1830 – 1870) in relation to the art, history, social
impact, collection, and practice of the daguerreotype and the other
photographic processes of this period. Authors are responsible for securing all
necessary rights and releases of images used as illustrations, and grant
permission for one-time print publication and for future electronic access.
Papers of up to 30 pages (~8,000 words) are requested for peer review by Keith

publication committee. The winners will be published in the Daguerreian Society
