Established in 1953 as the NSW Photographic Council.

Minutes of the 1st October 1958 - Mr K.L. Aston proposed a notice of motion that - The name of the Photographic Council of NSW be changed to the Federation of NSW Camera Clubs on the grounds of the fact that the pesent name does not convey the status and activities of the body.

Minutes of the 5th November 1958 - Notice of motion re change of Council name to the Federation of Camera Clubs (NSW) - Mr Aston spoke on his Notice of Motion and it was seconded by Mr Short.

It was decided that the name would come into effect as of the 1st January 1959.

The following is from the Minute books of the Federation of Camera Clubs in relation to the formation of an Australian Photographic Society.

28th January 1959
Motion - that a letter be addressed to the Melbourne and Brisbane advising them of our need of an Australian Photographic Society and of our intention of forming same, with their participation and assistance.
It was also moved that the Federation of Camera Clubs allocate £50 to Australian Photographic Society upon formation of same.
It was suggested also to ask Melbourne and Brisbane to put forward their suggestions for a constitution for same.

6th May 1959 - Formation of the Australian Photographic Society
The President; Mr L.G. Clarke informed the meeting that Mr Andrews (President - Sydney International Exhibition of Photography) had been to Melbourne and Adelaide and had brought back a favorable report from both States regarding the formation of an Australian Photographic Society. He is now on his way to Brisbane and whilst there shall consult the people concerned in that State.
By our next meeting it is hoped that a Report from that State is available.
The feeling of the meeting was that, as each State shall be represented in NSW at the Sydney International Exhibition of Photography which shall be in Sydney sometime in August, it would be most suitable if a meeting of those Delegates could be held to finalise the formation of such body and arrange for same to commence functioning.

3rd June 1959 - Formation of the Australian Photographic Society
The President; Mr L.G. Clarke read a letter he had drafted out which was intended to be sent to each Photographic Governing body in each State.
The meeting approved the letter and the Secretary was instructed to see these letters were sent.
The meeting then elected representatives for the forthcoming meeting of the State bodies, they being;
Mr L.G. Clarke (President), Mr Andrews, Mr K. Aston (representing the press), Mr D.L. MacKay (Secretary ex officio)

2nd March 1960
Mr Andrews spoke of a forthcoming meeting of the Australian Photographic Federation to be held in Melbourne on the 26th March 1960.
He nominated Mr L.G. Clarke to attend this meeting and a second Delegate was possibly necessary.
It had previously agreed to allot money for the formation of this body.
