About The Stereoscopic Society

This group has been set-up to showcase stereoscopic images produced by members of the Stereoscopic Society.

New members are welcome to join the society with or without experience in stereo photography. They will find help and advice given gladly by more experienced members and assistance is always available in obtaining stereo cameras and viewers. In addition materials for mounting transparencies are on sale to members at reasonable prices.

The Society Journal includes full colour cover and centre spread is published quarterly with articles featuring and information relating to the theory and practice of stereoscopy. There are also regular articles covering the Society’s activities and world-wide stereo news and views, as well as details of new 3-D equipment and second hand items offered by members.

Between September and April there are monthly meetings held on Saturday afternoons at 2.30pm at the University College of London, Cruciform Building, Lecture Theatre 2, Gower Street London WC1
(Note: Our London Meetings Venue is changing. See maps on the society website, www.stereoscopicsociety.org.uk/ , for details of the existing and new locations.).

Meetings are also held in Coventry for the Midlands area. They usually consist of two distinct parts, each addressing a different aspect of stereoscopic practice (see programme for further details).

There are a number of Postal Groups in the UK each consisting of around 20 members who circulate transparencies and prints. Each person regularly contributes a slide or prints which is returned on completion of a circuit with written comments from other members of the Group. For those who prefer it and new members, there is a "View Only" Group which facilitates the study of other peoples work. Other groups include Computer Stereo and View Magic prints.

The Annual Convention over a long weekend is held at different attractive centres in the UK. Visits are arranged to places of interest, evening programmes of slide shows, Saturday morning Workshops and discussions by members from the UK and overseas
The Librarian has books on stereo for UK resident members to borrow. Back issues of the Journal are also available for sale.

Our Exhibition attracts entries from members all over the world, and the slides and prints entered are shown at our meetings in London and Coventry and at the convention. Our entries in the ISU Clubs' Folios are taken from the award winning entries in the Exhibition. If you are a member of the Society and would like to enter your images for the Exhibition you will be able to download the entry form here from around October.
