Site of the Week #1, 4/16/07
http://www.photographymuseum.com/
This is the root of the photo-historical sites in my opinion. The gentleman who runs this site was my photo history instructor at the University of Illinois way back when. He was born in the same year that I was, so he was an undergraduate teaching the class, which didn’t win him any points in academia but he had been collecting photographs since high school and even at that point had amassed a quality collection and had some esoteric photo catalogs and books published in facsimile format. So he knows his onions.
Mr. Wm. B Becker (how 19th century!) has a very well organized site, images are decently large resolutions (having stolen many for PowerPoints for my own classes) and a great selection of links.
NB This si a reconstruction of what I must have wrote originally, as I couldn’t find it on my cuip.net account or in my files, spread over 3 computers!)
