Photographer Research


Feedback submitted by a researcher in Australia

Your site is so dam addictive...I have found more data in two weeks, than in the book stack at the state library of NSW (which has almost all Kellys' to the 1930s).

...I am compiling a list of all known Professional Photographers in England from 1839 to 1940.

The Royal Photographic Society has already published lists on the known Photographers in many English towns and cities. And what is most amazing about your site [is that] I am finding many previously unknown and unlisted professional Photographers even now. [I've] added another 500 in the past two weeks alone.

That is why I say your site is such a revolution in research.
