Advancing photography in Yorkshire and the umbrella organisation for amateur photographic clubs in Yorkshire.

One of the oldest photographic societies in the world, the RPS was founded in 1853 to make the art and science of photography more widely available. They aim to bring inspiration, creativity and connection through photography to people of all ages and backgrounds.

The PAGB is a membership organisation that co-ordinates activities for photographic Clubs across Great Britain in collaboration with 15 geographical Federations such as Yorkshire. The PAGB organises photographic events for its Federations and Clubs, offers services such as Recorded Lectures and has its own photographic Distinctions, known as Awards for Photographic Merit. The PAGB has strong links with similar organisations including cross-representation with the Royal Photographic Society and liaisons throughout the world via its membership of The International Federation of Photographic Art.
