About > Origins

• Born in 1944 from the union of the Victoria Photographic Society (1941) and the Civil Service Camera Club. The Victoria Camera Club was registered under the BC Societies Act in 2009.
• Participated in international salons (competitions and displays open to the public) until 1966.
• Initially most members were black and white print makers, many with their own darkrooms.
• A Colour Clinic, based on colour slides, began in 1957 and became very popular in the 1960s.
• Print making, in both colour and black and white, has become popular again.
• Today club members have strong interests in both prints and projected images from both film and digital sources.
• Membership in the Club has grown substantially in recent years, reflecting a strong public interest in all things photographic.
• Club members currently pursue an active program which includes guest speakers, competitions, members' nights, field trips and workshops.
