Chairman’s introduction
Dear all
This newsletter is designed to be more interesting than the usual broadcast e-mail but essentially to meet the same purpose.
First may I wish everybody a very good christmas and a wonderful new year. The last year and a bit of Covid 19 and lockdown has taken its toll on all of us, but as a special interest group we are still here if a little underwhelming in terms of activities.
Do remember if you have a talk you would like to give that be would be very welcome do e-mail MIkw Glyde our secretary who can arrange this now we have renewed our zoom subscription at jabba69@gmx.com
Next issue of Heritage Photography
I would like to remind members to send me any material they would like to see published in the next edition of Heritage Photography which is published 3 times per year. The next issue will be published at the end of January 2022 then subsequent issues at the end of March and September.
Do keep an eye on the group website and make suggestions for additions or imporovements or send blog posts to the secretary Mike Glyde jabba69@gmx. com who is now looking after the website for the group. For example we now have a member’s showcase see https://rps.org/groups/archaeology-heritage/membersshowcase/members-showcase/ for work by Edmund White.

Sergei’s exhibition
Though the description is in Russian do look at this film of an exhibtion by one of our new members see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBXg5_kEb0w
My photo exhibition MOMENTS OF HERITAGE 2021 from November 8 to November 30 is currently taking place in St. Petersburg in Russia. On November 3, I became a member of the Royal Photographic Society and joined the Archaeology Section until November 1, 2022. Heritage.
That’s why I’m showing this video made by the staff of the library where the photo exhibition is taking place.
The photo exhibition has 5 sections. The first one is photos about the ancient Russian city of Murom. The second one is photos about the UNESCO monument - palaces-park complex PETERHOF. The third is the WHITE COLOUR collection (white-stone Orthodox architecture and folk festivals). The fourth is photos from Florence, from Italy. The fifth is photos about the historic city of Julian in the USA.
Please excuse me for speaking Russian. From the YouTube channel, you can make an automatic translation from Russian to English. You need to go to SETTINGS (the button at the bottom of the screen).
