BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHIC RESEARCH

This section consists of annotated bibliographies and transcriptions of articles published in British photographic journals, newspapers and legal gazettes focusing on the 1850s to the 1870s.  The material covers reviews, exhibitions, meetings, expeditions, legal actions, and advertisements.  Indexes provide easy access, but word searches also work.   There are four indexes which currently provide access points to relevant data, plus three more which are still being populated.

This is a massive, daunting undertaking to be sure.  Documentation will be added regularly so it is worth checking back from time to time.  Most of the relevant articles from the 1850s have been covered with the exception of the London Times which is wonderfully informative.  I am currently working on adding that material. There is currently less material from the 1860s and 1870s as I am progressing chronologically through the publications.  On the other hand, the London Gazette has been as thoroughly researched from the 1840s-1870s as their search engines.  This provides a wealth of legal information (patents, partnerships, bankruptcies, etc.) about photographers. 

This information is provided FREE OF CHARGE, but please be mindful and credit my work.  And please do not copy entire sections and publish as your own.
