The Photographic Collections Network builds and shares knowledge and enjoyment of the UK's photo archives & collections. Funded by ACE & Art Fund @RedeyeNetwork
As the Photographic Collections Network (PCN) comes to a close, we reflect on the last eight years. The PCN reached over 6,000 people and delivered seminars, events and more. Thank you to everyone who was involved in the network. This account is no longer active or monitored.
We regret to announce that after many years of sharing best practice and celebrating photo collections and photo archives across the UK, the Photographic Collections Network will close on 19 August 2024. Please continue to refer to our website for resources - link in bio.
PCN is seeking an Interim Treasurer to help guide our journey into becoming a CIO charity.
We are seeking an interim Treasurer with expertise in accountancy and/or charity finance and reporting to join our board of Trustees.
