A History of Photography Dr Robert LeggatThis ever-expanding site gives a good background for many major figures and developments in the history of photography. International Directory of Photography HistoriansEdited by William Allen, this is an enormous list of people interested in all aspects of the history of photography. Most entries include details of interests and specialties and contact details. The Daguerreian SocietyForced into competition by larger circumstances, Talbot’s rival in 1839 was Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre. The Society devoted to his memory maintains one of the most active and interesting websites in the field. Although the emphasis is clearly on the Daguerreotype, the period it covers is coincident with Talbot’s. La Société française de photographieThe French Photographic Society maintains both a French and an English version of their site. There is an on-line version of their useful journal, d'Etudes photographiques Roger Fenton's Letters from the CrimeaThis website publishes faithful transcripts of letters sent by Roger Fenton to family and friends during his "Photographic Trip to the Crimea" in 1855. The venture is a collaborative project initiated by De Montfort University, using the two surviving letter books in the collections of the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center and The National Media Museum. This is the first occasion that all twenty five letters have been published in full. |  |
