Browsing Through Our Exchanges
Toronto. The late Bob Lansdale as our editor worried that exchange journals sat unnoticed in our storage. Certainly I did not know about them until I became an executive member. At the time such journals were given limited circulation.
Bob came up with the idea of taking a summary of selected journals and featuring the summaries in a new column called, “Browsing Our Exchanges” always ending with an urging to ‘see our librarian” to borrow a copy.
In issue 24-4, the column was written by Ev Roseborough. He began the column as follows, “Zeiss Historica, journal of the Zeiss Historica Society, Fall ‘98, focuses on theatre glasses and special telescopes. Biographies of Dr. Erhardt Glatzel, Dr. Kurt Michel and Wolfgang F. Jacobi will interest photo historians.
“Viewfinder, the Leica Historical Society quarterly, third quarter 1998, contains an important article on the [Leitz] Stemar by Harold Tichenor of North Vancouver B.C. Stereo enthusiasts take note. Walter Kluck, who was V.P. of Leitz Midland ON, and his role in saving the Leica M Series is told by Rolf Fricke.” …
These and the many other summaries in this issue’s column are available in the pdf file for 24-4 on the free members-only DVD/memory stick. To join, see ‘MEMBERSHIP’ above or “Membership’ at right. Questions? Email Lilianne at member@phsc.ca.
And remember, we host a number of events for collectors of cameras, images, photo history, etc. See PHSC EVENTS at right for our 2025 events. Oh yes, and our librarian has morphed into our archivist (David Bridge – a.k.a. Journal co-editor) these days.
