Educate the public about photographic history, preserve historical items and images
The International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum preserves, promotes and educates on the history of photography. It does this by annually inducting key photographers or innovators who have made notable contribution to the art or science of photography, by promoting scholarly research into their work and achievements and collection, preservation and display of related artifacts.
The IPHF also exhibits prints and antique cameras from the permanent collection, and hosts special exhibitions focusing on the art and science of photography. Educational outreach is conducted through the IPHF quarterly journal, which highlights one Hall of Fame Inductee in each publication, along with articles relating to special exhibitions and the permanent collection.
