This summer, American Antiquarian Society is offering a seminar on nineteenth-century photography. "Nineteenth-Century American Photography in the World" will be led by two art historians, Monica Bravo and Emily Voelker, who specialize in photographic history. The seminar addresses topics such as materiality, transpacific trade networks, and representations of Indigenous and diasporic populations in the United States and around the world. Guest speakers include curators and practicing artists specializing in African American and Indigenous art and photography.

Tuition for the seminar is $850, which includes meals throughout the week and a day trip to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA to view its photography collection. Graduate students and early career scholars will be eligible for a number of tuition scholarships. We hope to provide support for as many graduate students as our funds allow.

“Nineteenth-Century American Photography in the World” is offered through the AAS’s Center for Historic American Visual Culture (CHAViC). For more on CHAViC, see its webpage: https://www.americanantiquarian.org/chavic
