Research on Historical photographic process and the history of photography development
Daguerreotype
videos explaining the Daguerreotype processing:
Fox Talbot Calotype
Wet-collodian process
Tin type is the same as wet plate collodion, but uses metal rather than glass to expose the image.
I heard a talk from Nicolas Laboire a couple of years ago. See my write up here. Watching this now really puts his work into perspective. I remember the actual glass images being beautiful. We don’t know how lucky we are having digital tools, in terms of access to the media and the lack of danger with regards to injuring yourself to make an image.
I would love to know how the people back then, actually figured out what chemicals to use.

From Mary Bellis’s article on ‘History of the Digital Camera‘ was interesting and reminds me, that most of the fabulous advances in digital photogaphy, e been made during my adult lifetime!! (Bellis, 2019) – [accessed 9.3.20]
