1950-1999 content
In 1950 the name of the Association was changed to Dundee Photographic Society: the name which continues to the present day.
A disastrous fire in 1971 damaged the Society’s premises at 3 Magdalen Place and the property was later sold. Many invaluable records were destroyed in the fire but fortunately the original minute books still survive and early printed material is held in the Lamb Collection in the Local History section of the Wellgate Library.
Despite this setback, the Society has become one of the largest in Scotland and several members are well known and respected in both Scottish and International photographic circles. The Society continues to meet each Monday from September to April in Meadowside St Paul’s Church Hall Dundee where members enjoy a varied programme of talks, demonstrations and competitions.
In 1980 Dundee Photographic Society celebrated it's Centenery. To mark the Centenery, the society hosted the Scottish Photographic Salon and the exhibition of acceptances was held in the McManus Galleries, Dundee.
