NDPS History
The Norwich and District Photographic Society is one of the oldest such organisations in the country. It had its beginnings during the middle years of the 19th century. A number of local people with an interest in the science of photography formed the Norwich Photographic Society in June 1854. This society existed for only seven years but during that time it had an influence on the development of photography far greater than its provincial origins merited; there are reports about its meetings in the archives of the Royal Photographic Society.
The present society was formed in 1903. A group of photographers from other organisations such as the YMCA and the Teachers' Field Club, together with a number of interested individuals, met under the guidance of Albert Edward Coe. Since then it has met regularly although during the two world wars activities were curtailed and the Annual Exhibitions were suspended.
The new season begins on September and runs until the end of May.

- Because we understand these concerns, we make it clear that all camera types and all abilities are very welcome. The object of the Club is to enjoy photography, to learn from others and to have fun. For more information regarding the club, application and meetings, please contact us (see above).
