THE WCPHA is a non-profit British Columbia society established in
1974. The association is a small informal group and welcomes anyone
interested in photographic history or collecting cameras to our
monthly meetings—held 7.15 pm, the first Tuesday of each month at the Alpen
Club, (next to the basement restaurant) 4875 Victoria Drive, Vancouver.
Some members meet for dinner before each
meeting. All meetings start with a buy
and sell session followed by a presentation or show and tell of
member’s latest finds. Annual membership is $20 and
includes a monthly newsletter. We organise two dinners and a vintage camera outing and
competition each year. There is a weekly breakfast meeting and
an email discussion group. FUTURE
