Since 1914, the Pittsburgh Photography Club has held the Pittsburgh Salon of Photographic Art. Organized to represent the very best photographic works of the year by our members, images are judged by a team of photographic community judges. Prizes are awarded for excellence in the categories defined in the Salon rules.
We have scanned all of the The Pittsburgh Salon of Photographic Art catalogs from 1914 to 1980, inclusive.
