e-book: Pittsburgh Amateur Photographers

Posted | Comments Off on e-book: Pittsburgh Amateur Photographers

In 2000, our historian, Valentino Buttignol, did a deep dive into the history of the Photo Section of the Academy of Science and Art of Pittsburgh and its predecessors. The result was his book “Pittsburgh Amateur Photographers and the Photo Salons”. In 2015, Nancy Barnard revised, corrected and published the manuscript.

It’s too large for our website so we present it here chapter by chapter.
