Research Day

The Historical Group holds an annual Research Day in collaboration with the University of Wolverhampton.

We aim to encourage new researchers in photographic history to share their ideas in a friendly and supportive environment.

Papers from experienced researchers are welcomed, but half of the time slots are reserved for first time presenters. 

The 2025 Research Symposium will take place on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th March in Wolverhampton. 

A Call For Papers has been published. The deadline is 15th December 2024.
