The style and form of the Democratic National Convention has changed greatly since the first Convention in 1832.  And while this summer’s Convention will be filled with cutting-edge technology designed to bring the Convention experience to more people than ever before, there are many traditional aspects of the Democratic National Convention that will give 2008 shades of Conventions almost 200 years ago.

Now at DemConvention.com you can see the evolution of the Convention at our Historic Photos page.  Take a look back through pictures of historic memorabilia, speeches and Convention halls from 1840 through 2004.  Each of these images shows a glimpse of some of the most significant moments in American history.  We hope you are looking forward to the next truly historic Democratic National Convention in Denver this August -- when we'll create our own set of archival photos to be enjoyed for years to come.
