Cambridge YMCA Camera Club This photograph shows the members of the Cambridge YMCA Camera Club in 1901. The photograph is reproduced with the permission of cambridgeshire Archives - it is catalogue No 1047/8/4 in their collection. The photograph's mount has in manuscript the names of some, but not all of those present - making it very difficult to identify any one individual. There are 15 individuals in the photograph and 13 names on the mount.
The photograph was published in the Cambridge Daily News 9 December 1939 page 5, under the headline "A peep into the Past". The caption read: "We are indebted to Mr John Johnson (seen on the left) for this photograph of the old YMCA Camera Club taken in 1901.
