Royal Photographic Society
The Royal Photographic Society (RPS) is one of the world's oldest national photographic societies. It was founded in London, United Kingdom in 1853 as The Photographic Society of London with the objective of promoting the Art and Science of Photography. In 1874 it was renamed the Photographic Society of Great Britain, and in 1894 it became The Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain. The Royal Photographic Society was granted a Royal Charter in July 2004.〔http://www.rps.org/history〕 and is an educational charity, registered with the Charity Commission. For most of its history the Society was based at various premises in London. It moved to Bath in 1979 and since 2004 its headquarters has been at Fenton House, 122 Wells Road, Bath, Somerset BA2 3AH, UK. Membership is international and open to anyone with an interest in photography.
The Society offers various levels of distinctions in all aspects of photography and an Imaging Scientist qualification. It runs an extensive programme of more than 300 events throughout the United Kingdom and abroad, through local groups and special interest groups. The Society acts as a national voice for photographers and for photography more generally and it represents these interests on a range of governmental and national bodies dealing with areas as diverse as copyright and photographers' rights. The Society's collection of historic photographs, photographic equipment and books〔Royal Photographic Society, ''Photogenic. From the Collection of the Royal Photographic Society'', London: Scriptum Editions, 2001.〕〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/record-grant-creates-worldclass-photography-archive-644914.html〕 was deposited for the nation at the National Media Museum in Bradford in 2003.
== History ==
Photographers were slow in coming together and forming clubs and societies. The first was an informal grouping the Edinburgh Calotype Club around 1843 and the first photographic society, the Leeds Photographic Society in 1852 and claims to be the oldest photographic society in the world,〔The Société héliographique was established in Paris in 1851.〕 although it had a break between 1878 and 1881 when it ceased to exist independently. In other countries the Société française de photographie was founded in Paris in 1854.
