I am writing a history and directory of Indiana photographers, 1840s-1920s
(and possibly beyond). I'm interested in exchanging information
with anyone else interested in the subject. Data gathered includes
birth and death dates and places, names of parents, spouses, and
children, locations worked, processes used, and anecdotal stories.
I'm very interested in any information concerning studios and photographers
who worked in the state. Of particular interest are the makers of early
cased photographs (daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and
tintypes).
So far, I have information on the following Wayne Co. photographers:
