Zoom member-exclusive: CRP&A Collections Policy Update

In this members-only presentation, executive director Scott Lothes will provide an update on the changes being made to the Center’s photography collections policy, which will shape future accessions (visit the Collections page for details). He’ll share results and takeaways from the recent members survey about our collections work, as well as next steps for 2025. And of course, the program is fully illustrated with favorite images from several of the Center’s collections, as well as a few newly processed images.

If you’re a Center member, email info@railphoto-art.org to receive a recorded copy of the presentation.

This program originally aired on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at 7:00 PM (U.S. Central Time), on Zoom; 5 pm PT / 6 pm MT / 8 pm ET.
