The Journal of the Photographic Society, later the Royal Photographic Society, was first published on 3 March 1853 and it has been published continuously ever since. The magazine's title was changed with volume 5 (1859) when it was renamed The Photographic Journal and this was recently updated to the RPS Journal. The publication is the oldest photographic periodical in the world.[1] For much of the magazine's history it had an influence that went far beyond the society and a print run considerably in excess of the society's membership. The magazine has had its circulation ABC audited since 2010.[2] From June 2014 Think Publishing took on responsibility for publishing the journal on the society's behalf.[3] The Photographic Journal is not affiliated with ThePhotographicJournal.com, which is an online publication that began in 2013.[4]
