Norwood Historical Society Quarterly Members' Meeting
Tucked away in the archives of the Norwood Historical Society is a collection of early photographs that few people have seen. Most of them are unidentified, but they tell a story about life and leisure in early Norwood/South Dedham. Early photography enthusiasts John Anderson and Sue Anderson will lead an informal exploration of NHS's collection of daguerreotypes, tintypes and ambrotypes--what they are, how they were created and what we can learn from studying them. If you have any daguerreotypes of your own, please bring them to share and the Andersons may be able to provide guidance on dating and identifying them. This program is part of our summer exhibit on Photography in Norwood. All are welcome. Free.
And coming in the fall: Norwood Day (Saturday, September 13); Fall Members' Meeting (Wednesday, OCtober 22); Holiday House Tour (Saturday, December 6).
