<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4159517, member: 33&quot;][USER=18802]@Jerry Coker[/USER] , if you use Facebook, there are two groups I can recommend:</p><p><br /></p><p>The Daguerreian Society -- a more serious group of very knowledgeable collectors, curators, and researchers. Some are dealers also, but the group is not for selling. They prefer posts to be for images from the 1860s and earlier. The society is also a membership association but you don&#039;t have to pay for a membership to be in the group. For the past year they have also had online presentations through their website almost every Saturday. Each hour-long presentation costs $25 and past presentations can also be viewed, for $25 each. Both the Facebook group and the online presentations are good for learning. I also became a member of the society 6-7 years ago. They have some nice publications for members.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other Facebook group is Victorian Images. This group is for photos from the Victorian era, 1839-1901. It has a lot of members from all levels of knowledge. There are a lot of knowledgeable collectors and also a lot of people who are learning. There are fewer serious discussions there, and lots of people just showing photos they bought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, you seem interested in learning so I thought I would mention these. There are also other Facebook groups for antique photo collectors but most are more specialized (only for tintypes, for example).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
