THE HISTORY OF EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY 

1900-2000

Is the first complete encyclopedia on the history of photography of the 20th century.

The History of European Photography (1900-2000) is an international participatory research project of a pan-European size divided into three volumes / periods, volume 1 -1900-1938, volume 2 -1939-1969, volume 3 - 1970-2000.

Each volume of the final encyclopedia will be organized alphabetically by countries (35 countries alltogether). A study on each country photography history will be written by an expert on photography from that country (more than 50 experts cooperating). Alongside with main studies, each book will contain a rich additional material, biog­raphies of mentioned photographers, timetables marking cultural, social-political and technical-photographic events in each country for a given period. Indexes of each book will be of two kinds, indexes of mentioned photographers and indexes of other histori­cal names and subjects. The project is coordinated by Prof. Vaclav Macek, a chairman of FOTOFO association, a professor at the University of Performing Arts, Bratislava, a director of Month of Photography festival, Bratislava.

Our primary goal is to fill in a gap in the theory of photography. The prepared encyclo­paedia on history of European photography will be the first of its kind. While all exist­ing publications on this topic focus only on leading countries in European photography, such as France, Great Britain or Germany, omitting more than half of the continent, we are offering a complete overview of photography development in the 20th century from Iceland to Russia and from Scandinavia to Mediterranean countries.

This 3-volume publication should also set an essential background for a future scien­tific research on a pan-European level in this field.
