The Daguerreian Society's website notes: "As the premier historic photographic collecting organization, the Daguerreian Society brings together a community united by a common interest in and passion for all types of early photography. Members include top museum curators and scientists, photo collectors and dealers, photo historians, photographers and artists, students and teachers, and contemporary practitioners of antiquarian processes. We invite anyone that loves 19th-century photography and its processes, history, impact, and aesthetics to join. The Society was formed in 1988 as a group "dedicated to the history, science, and art of the daguerreotype," but has expanded its mission to include all forms of early photography and its processes; hence the Society's new mission and tag line: "dedicated to the history, science, and art of early photography and processes." Today, in addition to daguerreotypes, more than 90% of Society members collect other types of photographs and processes".
