We are excited to announce that registration is now open for a one-day, 
in-person research workshop concerning the landmark British 
photo-magazine, /Picture Post /(1938-57).

/Picture Post/was launched in the era of the Spanish Civil War and the 
Popular Front. Conceived for Hulton Press by Stefan Lorant (a Hungarian 
editor exiled from Nazi Germany), /Picture Post/ had a transnational 
staff and a global outlook. It was the leading British example of an 
international phenomenon – the birth of photojournalism and the 
photo-essay. The equivalent of /Life /in the US and /Paris-Match /in 
France, the magazine achieved circulation figures of 1.7m.

To mark the opening of a major exhibition at Amgueddfa Cymru – National 
Museum Cardiff, we are hosting a research workshop bringing together an 
international cohort of researchers, curators, archivists and librarians 
to discuss the development and impact of /Picture Post/.

The programme is included below. Registration is via the link above. 
*Please note this is a free in-person event*.

The workshop is co-hosted by the Tom Hopkinson Centre for Media History 
(School of Journalism, Media & Culture, Cardiff University) and 
Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales. It is organised by Dr Tom Allbeson 
(Reader in Media & Photographic History, Cardiff University) and Dr 
Bronwen Colquhoun (Senior Curator of Photography, Amgueddfa Cymru - 
Museum Wales).
