National Photographic Record Association

This article is about the group which used photography to create a record of late 19th Century English life, towns and landscapes. For the portrait project, the National Photographic Record, see Walter Stoneman.

The National Photographic Record Association was established in 1897 to create a record of English life, towns and landscapes. It emerged as part of the Photographic Record and Survey Movement which sought to record a range of objects and phenomena of social and physical landscapes undergoing rapid change, and as a result of the expansion of photography as a pastime in the nineteenth century.[1]

Foundation

The National Photographic Record Association (NPRA) was first proposed in 1889 by William Jerome Harrison[2] and presented to the Royal Photographic Society in his 1892 paper A National Photographic Record and Survey.[3] Although the society rejected his idea, five years later, in September 1897, John Benjamin Stone adopted Harrison's ideas and established the NPRA for "a photographic survey of the three kingdoms, not forgetting the principality".[3] The Association's aim was to create a record of historical interest for the future, forming a national memory bank in order to foster "a national pride in the historical associations of the country, or neighbourhood, in family traditions, or in personal associations."[4]

Work

During its thirteen years of operation, 5,883 prints were collected by photographers including Benjamin Stone, Edgar Scamell and many others.[5] All contributions were made on a voluntary basis. Initially many of the prints were donated to the British Museum. Their collection has now been handed to the Victoria and Albert Museum.[6]

Demise

In May 1910, with a growing concentration of survey work at a local level, it was announced that the NPRA had done its work, and that the time had arrived when it could retire and leave the work to be carried on by local societies.[5]
