Wilson's photographic magazine?

I am sure everyone here has heard of Wilson's Photographic Magazine (1917) Digitized by Google. Maybe not, for those that haven't here is a link the Info in Google Books, It is simply amazing. It talks about all sorts of Vintage photography and so far it seems to be free to read thruogh google. I have been reading volume 54 and on Page 535 a section called THE WORKROOM "Doretypes and how to make them", many sections all of great interest another Making A Ground-Glass Screen. Simply amazing to me. Digital has really taken a back seet of late. I wish I had not waited so long to dive into alternative photography.

I would suggest you set up your personal "Google Books" library. Then go through & search different key words like Portrait lens, Studio Camera, Dallmeyer, Voigtlander,Ross,Zentmeyer,Century,American Optical, Rochester Optical Co, & so on. You will build a large library in a day. I only add "Full view" books & magazines to my library. This weeds out partial or buy to read magazines & book. Setting up your own library makes research much more streamlined & direct.

I have nearly 900 full view photography mags & books dating back to the 1860's & up to 1940's.

Here is an example, The British Journal of Photography 1875.

That is awesome, the information is unbelievable. Thanks for the tip on how to store the information as it seems endless.

WOW. If only something like this existed back in the '80's when I was researching Carbon Printing.......
