Welcome to the online community for people interested in the daguerreotype, the first publicly announced process of photography. Originally two websites- ContemporaryDaguerreotypes.info and DagForum.com, set up independently and almost simultaneously, these have now combined to promote a single online daguerreian community.

All users can register to participate in the online community via the Forum, contemporary daguerreotypists who wish to display images of their work in the galleries section can have their own gallery page with biographical details and links to their own websites.

Through the Resources section and the Wiki we hope to build a comprehensive resource for all things daguerriean that will foster the advancement of daguerreian artists and the daguerreotype process.
