1. VRA/SCVisual Resource Association’s
Southern California Regional Chapter
The Visual Resources Association is a multi-disciplinary organization dedi-
cated to furthering research and education in the field of image management
within the educational, cultural heritage, and commercial environments.
The Southern California Chapter of the Visual Resources
Association (VRA) was formed in 1995 to provide a
regional network of image media professionals and extend
the western reach of the national organization. From San
Luis Obispo to San Diego, like-minded curators gather
twice a year at rotating venues of particular interest to
share ideas and information. Whether working with slides,
photographs, film, or their digital counterparts in aca-
demic, archival, commercial, library, or museum institu-
tions, professionals and students handling or interested in
such archival materials are welcome to join in on local
activities and meetings. Collection visits, demonstrations
of advanced technologies, lectures, meetings, roundtables,
and tours open up Southern California's cultural treasures
and promote the spirit of collaboration.
The VRA is the only professional organization devoted
exclusively to visual materials including their history,
classification, production, use, and conservation. VRA/SC
connects the local and the national organizations and
communicates current information on committee work,
research, publications, and conference activities allowing
image resource managers to get acquainted and to explore
professional horizons.
