Hello,

 

Does anyone know of a good reference source (print or online) for bios of American photographers, especially 19th and early 20th century photographers?  Or even better, photographers who specialized in shooting theatrical subjects?  I am doing authority work in the Folger’s photo collection and am finding that we don’t have a good body of print resources pertaining to these areas, so if anyone can recommend something we could buy, it would be much appreciated.  I am aware of the Craig’s Daguerreian Registry website and the Broadway Photographs site compiled by David S. Shields.   

 

Thanks,

Bettina
