Events

The Annual Meeting

The annual meeting is held in a different city each year and always attracts from 100 to 150 members. It is designed to broaden collectors' horizons through cooperation with the leading institutions of the host city, which provide meeting rooms and auditoriums, behind the scenes tours, and exhibits of special interest to AHPCS members. Talks by scholars and other authorities on American history and prints are featured along with congenial banquets, a members' print mart, and a fund- raising print auction.

The 2008 annual meeting will be held May 1-3 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Regional Meetings

Regional representatives are appointed in locations across the country to help organize informal meetings which provide special access to the resources of libraries, historical societies, and museums in their areas. AHPCS encourages members interested in making such arrangements and will give assistance in setting up these events. Some regional meetings have featured informative and helpful workshops and demonstrations on the conservation of prints, a field of increasing interest to the serious collector. Look for information on regional events in our news and announcements area.
