The History of Photography

Join us for a fascinating presentation with historian Ryan Conroy as he explores the evolution of photography—from the early days of wet plate processes to the rise of pocket cameras that made photography accessible to everyone.

Learn how to date and identify old photographs you may have tucked away at home. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own vintage photos for on-the-spot identification and insights from our expert lecturer.

Ryan Conroy is a local historian and President of the Spring-Ford Area Historical Society. He has contributed his knowledge to numerous local non-profit organizations and businesses, and has authored articles for magazines, websites, and blogs.
