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.
