The International Photographic Historical Organization (InPHO)is proud to support this page providing information on the Internet Directory of Camera Collectors...
The Internet Directory of Camera Collectors (the "IDCC") is a moderated membership group with a singular broad area of interest: collecting, preserving, and using antique and classic cameras. If you wish to learn more about the IDCC, please visit the group's information page at...
www.photographyhistory.com/idccinfo.html
If you're already a regular participating member of the IDCC and wish to have your name added to this public list, or you'd like to modify your current entry, please contact David Silver, the IDCC moderator, at silver@well.com and specify the necessary information. Additions to this public list are not automatic or mandatory with membership in the IDCC e-mail forum. The list is a voluntary bonus with IDCC membership, provided and supported by InPHO, and is a way for participating members to advertise their camera collecting interests to the public. However, members qualify for the list by regularly participating in the e-mail forum, and they must specifically ask to have their listings included. The public is welcome to contact these members regarding antique and classic cameras, but we request that only one member be contacted at a time, do not send simultaneous messages to multiple members, and please be sure to only contact members with appropriate interests for any given inquiry. Thank you!
