Raising Awareness in Northern Europe
Welcome to the Daguerreotype Day on June 9th, 2014
The Daguerreotype Day is organised by the Finnish Museum of Photography within the framework of Daguerreobase project to promote the Daguerreobase project and gather together owners, researches and collectors of daguerreotypes around the Northern Baltic Sea.
Daguerreobase is an European photographic heritage project with an ambitious goal to collect over 25.000 daguerreotypes and related items into one searchable database where all the owners of daguerreotypes, weather they are museums, archives or private collectors, are encouraged to register their daguerreotypes. Daguerreobase will be a unique research tool for daguerreotypes.
In addition to the presentation of the Daguerreobase project the symposium programme includes presentations from Finland, Sweden, Russia and the Baltic countries as well as a presentation given by a Finnish contemporary daguerreotypist Jalo Porkkala. The day after the symposium, on June 10th, participants are invited to participate in the organised visits to some daguerreotype museum collections in Helsinki.
The symposium language is English. Symposium is free of charge.
