New posts on the NHS will be very limited in the future. (3/2020)

The NHS has moved to Facebook. This website will continue to serve two primary purposes, a link to our old discussion forums, and a place to keep Alan Blake's Journal indexes. There are also many other archive items of interest.  From time to time I may post timely information about the society.  Over 25 years now, all fun collecting with wonderful friends.

The NHS Convention - Oct. 1st 2016

Note from our convention chairman:

NHS Con-15 will be held on Saturday, October 1, 2016, beginning at 9:00. It will be at the Penn’s View Hotel, located in the historic district. Incidentally, our meeting will precede the Leica meeting scheduled for the following week, so those wishing to attend both can easily do so.

The Photorama Camera Show is scheduled for the following day, October 2, 2016. It will be held at the Ft. Washington Hilton.

Before the meeting, three days of Philadelphia activities, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Following the meeting and camera show, we’re planning two days of touring outside the city.

Including pre and post activities: Wednesday, September 28 through Tuesday, October 4, 2016.

If you are thinking of attending, contact Bill at [email protected]
