I will. It could be a few weeks
I will. I'm having to tweak it daily, as I keep stumbling on new, trivial, bits of information that 'have' to be added. It started off as notes to share with my buddy for the 'history of photography' display we are doing this summer, and to hand out to kids who visited our table, but it keeps growing. Civil War photo collecting is only a part of it - you guys are responsible for my interest in that area!
Our main areas of expertise are pre-wwi photography, only going back to 1860's albumen photos, although my friend has written books that contained quite a bit about dags and ambros. He got me into albumen collecting around 15 years ago and we've been doing card shows now for several years. With this paper I've tried to go non-technical with mainly hands-on information for collectors;i.e-if you want to know how any of the various photographs are created, you can pick up such information online.
Be sure to keep us update as I am sure many of us would love to read it.
