School Outreach

PHSNE's School Outreach Program helps support public and, private schools, colleges, art institutes and summer camp photography instructors and their students. Especially as expressed by traditional (analog) photography and related darkroom practices. PHSNE does this by providing, for free, donated 35mm SLR film cameras and enlargers to programs in need of these items. See Outreach for more details and contact information.

Photographica & Auction

PHSNE sponsors the popular Photographica Show and sale in the Boston area in the spring. The Photographica Show offers members and the public an opportunity to browse and buy images, antique and usable cameras, equipment and ephemera. Some attend the Photographica Show to sell photographic items to dealer-members from throughout the world. See Photographica for more details and contacts info.

PHSNE holds two auctions each year. The largest is held at the spring Photographica Show. A second, typically smaller, auction is held as a monthly meeting, usually in late fall or early winter. Both auctions are open to the public for bidding and for consignment on a space available basis. See Auction for more details and contacts info.
