A Record of England
In July 1897 Sir Benjamin Stone announced the formation of the National Photographic Record Association. The NPRA was the most high profile part of a much wider photographic survey movement at the end of the 19th century. The prime objective of this association was to record antiquities, ancient buildings and customs of specific historical interest for the future. This book, by leading photo historians James and Edwards examines in detail Stone's central role and presents over 100 photos, many of which have never been published before.

Locating Memory
As a visual medium, the photograph has many culturally resonant properties that it shares with no other medium. These essays develop innovative cultural strategies for reading, re-reading and re-using photographs, as well as for (re)creating photographs and other artworks and evoke varied sites of memory in contemporary landscapes: from sites of war and other violence through the lost places of indigenous peoples to the once-familiar everyday places of home, family, neighborhood and community. Paying close attention to the settings in which such photographs are made and used--family collections, public archives, museums, newspapers, art galleries--the contributors consider how meanings in photographs may be shifted, challenged and renewed over time and for different purposes--from historical inquiry to quests for personal, familial, ethnic and national identity.
