John A. Lind		I'm reluctant to give a direct answer here as questions like this have shown up in the past for things such as the Ritz Camera employment test and students taking quizzes, etc. I did a very quick "Google" on them. You should try the same at: http://www.google.com/ These popped up within the first few links: Calotype: http://www.nls.uk/pencilsoflight/process.htm http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/hillandadamson/calo.html Daguerreotype: http://www.daguerre.org/resource/history/history.html http://www.daguerre.org/resource/process/remin.html Albumen Print: http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/photography/processframe.php?processid=pr004 http://albumen.stanford.edu/library/monographs/masters/the_albumen_print.html Took me longer to type in this response than to find these links. If this is for a class, some assignments have the secondary objective of having the student learn how to do research to find things. It's the reason I gave the link for the Google search engine. Please don't think I'm trying to make it difficult. It's incredibly easy with the internet as it exists today. Some of us did very nearly all of our education before the internet was even a conceptual idea within DARPA. Even in grad school at the end of the 1980's, doing internet searches were painfully arduous (I hope someone else remembers ARCHIE, VERONICA, and FTP'ing text files at 9600 bps max) . . . and that still didn't guarantee finding much. If I didn't already know the answer, it required a trek to a large public or university library, searching card catalog drawers, and browsing through photographic history books until I found a sufficiently detailed text covering these topics. -- John Lind To love this comment, log in above June 27, 2004
