These processes include, but are not limited to: Daguerreotypy, Platinum, Albumen, Collodian, Cyanotype, and Gum Bichromate printing methods among others.

 

The Society seeks to promote the greater understanding and acceptance in the photographic, art, and community at large of these processes, the photographers who work in them, and the work that they produce.

 

Society members will actively participate in meetings, exhibitions and publicity oriented events that promote the Society and the spectrum of Alternative Printing.
