I am a student of Information Studies and Librarianship at Charles University in Prague. According to my study recently I have been writing a Master Thesis on the possibilities provided by web galleries and social networks to amateur/professional art photographers. Part of it is a comparison of the situation in Finland and Czech Republic.
Due to this fact I would like to ask you for some little help if you know about any information resources about this topic (or the history of photography in Finland) or if you know any persons interested in this case. I have been in Finland for 3 months now and unfortunatelly I wasn't successful in looking for the information.
If you will have any idea where to look for the information I would really appreciate that.
Thank you very much in advance.
