PSRI, the Photographic Society of Rhode Island has been in existence since 1927. During that time, it has changed its name and meeting location but never its spirit. PSRI is the premiere camera and photographic society in Rhode Island, dedicated to excellence in the art and craft of photography. It has members who have been with the organization for decades and remember the “good old days” when they ran from one pick up point to the next to collect photographs for the competitions. The group arguably represents the best photographic talent in the state and the membership has been growing every year. You may enjoy reading the short document titled “A Brief History of PSRI“.
